Broadcaster Lee Hyuk-jae (48) protested, “It is different from the fact that he was sued for not paying 20 million won.”
On the 26th, Lee Hyeok-jae said in a phone call with Maeil Business Daily Star Today, “As a result of the police check, there was no lawsuit. It is said that the police sent it back because of insufficient documents,” he said. “It was unfair that a formal complaint was not made.”
Also, “It was money borrowed in the corporate name, not personally.
Last evening, the director of our company transferred 20 million won borrowed to Mr. A’s account and paid off all the debts.”
However, the head of the investigation manager Lee Kwon-soo in charge of the case of Lee Hyeok-jae at the Chungnam Southeast Police Station was different. In a call with a reporter on the afternoon of this afternoon, the chief investigator said, “The complaint was held in the morning of yesterday (25th). It is not a temporary application, but a formal application. Usually, when a complaint is filed, an investigation on the same day is a rule, but due to insufficient data, it was recommended to supplement the documents. The investigator explained the same to Lee Hyuk-jae,” he said.
Regarding the investigation of the complainant, “We have not done so yet, and we plan to set a date soon. Afterwards, the investigation of Lee Hyeok-jae will decide whether to proceed with transfer (for distance reasons).”
Regarding Lee Hyeok-jae’s claim that “all the borrowed money was paid off,” the police explained, “I haven’t confirmed it yet, but if all the borrowed money has been paid, it may lead to withdrawal of the complaint, but there is no change until now.
Earlier, Mr. A, an acquaintance of Lee Hyeok-jae, claimed that he submitted a complaint to the Chungnam Southeast Police Station stating that “I have lent 20 million won worth of money to Lee Hyeok-jae and have not received the promised deadline.”
Regarding this, Hyeok-jae Lee was confused, saying, “I’m an acquaintance I contacted a week ago, but I don’t understand the sudden complaint.” I haven’t even seen the complaint yet, and I am embarrassed to find out through the article for the first time.”
