Shin Hye Sung apologizes for excessive gambling

[colour-of-faint.livejournal.com]

Remember when we first heard the surprising news that Shinhwa member Shin Hye Sung was fined for excessive gambling?

Well, the singer seems to have gotten back on track since then as he apologized to fans about the unfortunate incident. On the 7th, right before his upcoming Japan concert, vocalist Shin Hye Sung met the public and said, “I’m truly sorry about disappointing those who loved and cared for me by doing something really stupid and behaving in a way I should not have.”

Regarding the album he released in Japan on February during break he explained, “I thought taking a break would be the best thing to do so I tried to delay the release as much as possible but it still seems to have been released pretty quickly. Even after releasing I did not feel very comfortable about it.”

Last year, Shin Hye Sung took some time off after the incident and returned to fans with a more mature form of himself. He again apologized to fans and close friends for his actions and truthfully revealed, “This was the most fearful and scary time for me throughout my 12 years as a celebrity.”

Additionally, on the 6th and the 7th Shin Hye Sung met approximately 7,000 fans during his concert titled “2010 – Shin Hye Sung Live in Tokyo, Find Voice in Song.” The singer plans to continue his concert tour in other Asian countries including China, Thailand, and Taiwan.

While I don't find anything wrong with gambling, I realize that it is a crime in S.Korea and I am glad that he's paid his dues and I hope that he can move on.

Good. He needs to be punished and charged to the fullest extent.

He was. Like in October of last year. And he paid the fine, and now he's just apologizing for it. :/

Woah gambling is illegal? Weird~ Hope he will get over this "mishap" quickly ♥

For the umpteenth time

Gambling itself isn't illegal. He had money tranferred to him illegally in order to gamble in another country. Taking huge amounts of money/cash above the permitted amount to a foreign country is illegal. You have to declare the amount when leaving the country through customs. He didn't, and to top it off, he gambled it all away.
SHS is my favorite Shinhwa member and I was (and still) royally pissed he did something this stupid.

Well gambling can make your own life miserable so it's a good thing in a way, that the state actually stopped him. Since it's an addiction, I hope he will have the psychological support to get through this.

Hyesung and Taehwa should collaborate. Just saying.
