He has frequently been caught gambling, which is illegal in South Korea. The first time he was known to get caught was in 2005, prompting him to bow out of all his shows. He returned a few months later and regained popularity.
However, in 2010, he failed to show up at one of his scheduled recordings. At the time, he explained he had been in the hospital in the Philippines and was being treated for dengue fever (photo above). The truth was later revealed. He had been gambling in the Philippines, resulting in his losing his passport and his money.
