Actor Lee Min Ho explained the rumors surrounding him and his illegal gambling outside of Korea.

On Monday, actor Lee Min Ho's agency Star Haus Entertainment said, "Lee Min Ho recently stopped by at a casino with the staff members after filming a commercial in the New Zealand. However, the news that he was involved in illegal gambling is not true."

Previously, a news site reported that Lee Min Ho has been gambling in a casino, after spotting a picture that was posted on Lee Min Ho's Chinese social media Weibo account. Lee Min Ho's agency Star Haus Entertainment then said, "The place was not a casino, but a small casino-like place that is run by a restaurant. This was a legal casino place, and has nothing to do with illegal gambling."

In related news, Lee Min Ho visited the New Zealand to film a commercial for an outdoor clothing brand.
