Actor and entrepreneur Jang Dong-ju is reported to have filed a police complaint, alleging that he was demanded an excessive repayment amount by a loan shark and subjected to threats.

According to Ilgan Sports on the 25th, Jang Dong-ju filed a complaint against A, a loan shark, at Seoul Gwanak Police Station on September 3 last year, citing charges including extortion and illegal debt collection.

According to the report, Jang borrowed 4 million won from A's side, whom he was introduced to through a company in August for living expenses. He repaid the principal in the same month, several days after the one-week repayment period had passed. However, Jang claims that A's side demanded an excessive repayment amount under the pretext of late fees and conducted threatening debt collection.

Jang also claimed that he received threatening messages from A's side, such as "I will go to your mother's house" and "I will contact your workplace."

Previously, Jang disclosed in January last year that he incurred a debt of approximately 4 billion won due to a hacking incident at Daejeon Rest, and subsequently announced his retirement from acting in May.

Since then, he has been working as an executive manager for Woo-Sun Group Co., Ltd., establishing its subsidiary, Woo-Sun Entertainment, and entering the actor management business.
