When a colleague who had been in business with comedian Heo Gyeong-hwan was arrested for stealing billions of won from the company, Heo Gyeong-hwan expressed his bitter feelings.
Heo Gyeong-hwan said on his Instagram on the 18th, "The comedian should give a smile, not a burden, so it was a work that I had to endure and proceed quietly, but today there were a lot of articles."
On the 17th, it was revealed that a partner who embezzled funds from Heo Gyeong-hwan's company was sentenced to imprisonment at the first trial.
Yang Mo, who was in charge of the audit, was sentenced to three years and six months in prison and a fine of 10 million won on charges of stealing about 2.73 billion won from a chicken breast company operated by Heo Gyeong-hwan.
Heo Gyeong-hwan said, "I was betrayed by a colleague I believed, but thanks to a colleague I believed, I was able to get up again. Thank you for being surprised, cheering, and worrying about many people today."
He then showed a solid figure, saying, "I'm so grateful to customers and those who smile at my gag, and I will broadcast and do business with more care."
