Singer and producer Shin has been embroiled in allegations that he has been "gambling away" in Las Vegas for years.
On the night of the 29th, TV Chosun reported this and said, "The police have secured a related statement."
The media said, "In June last year, Mr. Cha, who is the chairman of the agency, had a Kakao Talk conversation with a special official of the company. After posting an Excel file photo with the dollar amount along with the English name of Shin, an entertainer and singer-turned-producer, he said, "I paid it back for him."
"The details include US$3.82 million and KRW 5.4 billion between August 2023 and January 2025, along with the names of two Las Vegas hotel casinos, the abbreviation of Marker Loans, which means short-term credit loans provided by casinos to VIP customers, and ML numbers," he added. "The electronic tickets submitted by reporters from the company included the details of celebrity Shin and agency chairman Cha's trips to Los Angeles and Las Vegas around the time the casino credit loans were made."
In addition, the media said, "Mr. Cha learned that all of his debts were 'gambling debts' in the process of acquiring a stake in an entertainment agency from Mr. Shin." "Because Shin diverted 2 billion won in advance payments to gambling funds, Cha had no choice but to pay back instead," he claimed.
Shin reportedly refuted TV Chosun, saying, "I have visited Las Vegas in the U.S. for business, but I have never gambled," adding, "All casino loans presented as evidence are false."
