The first court hearing for comedian Lee Jin-ho, who was indicted on charges of illegal gambling and drunk driving, will be held on the 14th.

On this morning, the Suwon District Court's Yeoju Branch Criminal Division No. 1 will conduct the first trial against Lee Jin-ho, who was prosecuted for violations including the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving). Lee Jin-ho is expected to appear in court today alongside his attorney.

Previously, on May 29, the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office Yeoju Branch filed a non-detained indictment against Lee Jin-ho. According to the Prosecution Service, Lee Jin-ho is suspected of drunk driving approximately 100 kilometers from Incheon to Yangpyeong in the early hours of September 24 last year while under the influence of alcohol.

At that time, Lee Jin-ho's blood alcohol concentration was measured at 0.11%, a level warranting license revocation. Subsequently, Lee Jin-ho requested a blood test, and the National Forensic Service analyzed the result as 0.12%.

Lee Jin-ho also faces allegations of repeatedly gambling through illegal online gambling sites and others. Earlier, police received complaints via the Citizen's Report Center requesting an investigation into Lee Jin-ho's suspected gambling fraud, launched their investigation, and subsequently transferred the case to the Prosecution Service.

Additionally, on April 1, Lee Jin-ho suddenly collapsed from a brain hemorrhage at his home and was urgently transported to a hospital. It is reported that emergency medical services were dispatched after singer Kang In-woo, who was in contact with Lee Jin-ho at the time, made the call.

Lee Jin-ho was rushed to a hospital in Seoul for emergency treatment, received care in the intensive care unit, and later regained consciousness before being transferred to a general ward to continue rehabilitation therapy.

After being discharged at the end of May, he has been receiving outpatient treatment at his home and resting. Although some paralysis symptoms remain, causing difficulties with communication and movement, it is reported that his condition has improved to the point where light conversation and mobility are now possible.

With his health still not fully recovered due to aftereffects from the brain hemorrhage, attention is focused on what stance Lee Jin-ho will take during today's first court hearing when he appears in person.
