[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Singer Yoon Byungho, who has been accused of borrowing money from singer Lee Rohan and not repaying it, apologized saying, "I'm sorry."

On the 19th, Yoon Byungho wrote on his Instagram, "I am very sorry to Rohan and apologize to the fans and everyone who has helped me so far," adding, "After appearing on 'High School Rapper 1,' I earned a significant income for the first time, but due to the continuous criticism, I was afraid to go on stage even when performances or events came up, so I hardly engaged in income-generating activities."

He continued, "Even when releasing an album, I couldn't break even, so I never received any settlement from the company and lived only through lessons."

He also said, "I applied for a loan out of remorse, but it was not approved," and added, "I am in personal contact with Rohan. I sincerely apologize for causing trouble."

Earlier, Lee Rohan revealed that Yoon Byungho had not repaid the money he borrowed from him for two years. Lee Rohan left a comment on Yoon Byungho's Instagram post the day before, saying, "It has almost been two years since you borrowed 3.3 million won from me, and I hope you don't forget that you have to repay the money."

He added, "Regardless of your efforts and struggles, is it right that it is this difficult for me to get my money back?" and "If you don't have it now, it can't be helped, but please remember it." The post has since been deleted.
