We are deeply regretting and reflecting on what has happened. We are sorry for causing concern and disappointment to the fans and officials who have supported us in the meantime," he bowed his head.
“Through this incident, I realized once again that I should always be cautious about every action and act with a sense of responsibility as a public figure,” he said.
According to the Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency's wide-area investigation unit on the 15th, the investigation is underway by arresting group supernova member Yoon and Seongje on charges of gambling and other charges.
They are accused of gambling so-called'baccarat' by stopping at a local casino in the Philippines from 2016 to 2018.
The police estimate that they gambled a few times, but their stakes ranged from 7 million won to 50 million won.
Also, one of them is believed to have gambled on illegal online gambling sites run by Koreans.
They are known to have admitted most of the charges in police investigations.
However, it was reported that he denied the suspicion of Won Jeong-bak, saying, "I went to the Philippines and accidentally gambling.
The police are planning to expand the investigation to see if there are other expedition gamblers besides them.
Supernova, which debuted in 2007, entered Japan about 10 years ago and is still gaining popularity today.
Currently, the group has changed its name from Supernova to'Super Nova' and is currently active.
