South Korean Comedian Lee Jin-ho Sentenced for Illegal Gambling and DUI
South Korean comedian Lee Jin-ho has been sentenced to one year and six months in prison, suspended for three years, for illegal gambling and drunk driving. Jin-ho exchanged 870m Korean won, or approximately $631,600, into cryptocurrency and engaged in gambling with unregulated casinos. He completed 664 gambling-related transactions between May 11, 2023, and October 14, 2024.
In addition to his gambling charges, Jin-ho was also charged with driving under the influence. On September 24, 2025, Jin-ho drove from Incheon to his residence in Gyeonggi Province after drinking alcohol, with a blood alcohol level of 0.12%.
Jin-ho admitted to the charges and expressed regret for his actions. He vowed to never commit a crime again. The comedian was also ordered to complete 120 hours of community service as part of his sentence.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype.
