on this day no cut news According to the report, Mr. Lee, who is called the ‘Villa King’, appeared as a certified brokerage assistant in the episode. Brokerage assistant refers to a person who belongs to a licensed real estate agent, not a licensed realtor, and assists with simple tasks related to brokerage work, such as on-site guidance for brokerage objects and general administrative affairs.

At the time of the broadcast, Mr. Lee introduced the second floor of a villa to the cast members, but he had already owned the fifth floor of the same villa before the broadcast. He did not introduce the property he owned, but Lee actively used it for his publicity activities by posting his broadcast appearance on social media.

In the end, Mr. Lee was arrested last month on charges of defrauding 31.2 billion won in deposits from 118 tenants by purchasing 413 villas through gap investment without capital in the metropolitan area. However, the police believe that the actual number of victims is much higher when including those who did not report the damage due to reasons such as signing up for guarantee insurance.
