Former baseball player Lim Chang-yong, a top-notch sidearm pitcher in Korea.

Since my retirement last year, I have expanded my range of activities to various fields.

“It was my first time to comment, but it was fun…”

By the way, at the beginning of this month, I paid 300 million won in comprehensive income tax, and I was named as a high-income and frequent delinquent person at the National Tax Service.

It was confirmed that Mr. Lim was being accused of fraud this time and is under police investigation.

In July, Mr. Lim was accused of not repaying 25 million won after borrowing 25 million won from a woman in her 30s who is an employee of an entertainment business in Gangnam, Seoul.

The woman’s claim is that Mr. Lim, whom she usually knew, said that she needed it for business and said, “I’ll spend only 3 hours and pay it back,” and she borrowed money from the store owner and handed it over.

“The (business) representative is still a representative of Korea, and I have a guarantee of responsibility in the middle, so there will be no problem and I lent it…”

However, Mr. Chang-Yong Lim said that he did not pay off the money by procrastinating the child’s work, and after he handed him 10 million won a month later, he did not reach any contact.

“There is also the stress of the pressure of’when will you give me money’ at the store… This person can’t contact me and I can’t even spend my living expenses…”

Lim claimed that until recently, he was sued for living a luxurious life, such as playing golf with high stakes.

“(Actually) I play a lot of big bet golf. It’s 5 million won, 10 million won. (I’ll get 1,500 won), but that’s a big money for me. I keep going.”

The police have notified Mr. Lim of the summons, but have not yet received a reply as to whether he is present.

The reporters contacted him several times to hear Mr. Lim’s position and tried to contact him through the former agency’s representative, but he did not hear any explanation.
