In November 2018, Lee Chun-soo reportedly told Mr. A, "My income is irregular now. Please lend me living expenses. I plan to run a YouTube channel and a soccer school in a few years, so I will repay it by the end of 2023 at the latest." In April 2021, Mr. A transferred a total of 132 million won to Lee Chun-soo's spouse's account in nine separate transactions until April 2021, but since fall 2021, contact was cut off, and he stated, "I have not received a single won back." Mr. A also stated, "Lee Chun-soo asked me to participate in investing on a foreign exchange futures trading site." He encouraged him, and in the process, he suffered losses worth hundreds of millions of won." In response, Lee Cheon-soo said, "It's true that he received money, but it was money given to him just to spend because he was making a lot of money. Although he did receive money, there was absolutely no intention of fraud (deception), so the claim that it was fraud is not true, and he is willing to return it," he claimed. He also argued that regarding the investment-related claims, "They are completely untrue. I have never offered any investment solicitation or introduction," and it is reported that the case is currently under police investigation. The core of this case is the question, 'Did you lend me living expenses?' (Mr. A) and 'Did you just give it to me so I could use it?' (Lee Chun-soo) is at the location, but Lee Chun-soo refuted Mr. A's claim that he simply gave it to him because he had a lot of money, and ,,, Mr. A claims that he lent money to Lee Chun-soo but not only failed to repay it by the agreed date but also cut off contact. If Mr. A's claim is correct, then he should have sufficient evidence or circumstances to enter the police to justify his claim. If he had provided it, the answer would be simple, but if he couldn't, the problem would become complicated. From another perspective, Lee Chun-soo could have returned the money as he claimed, but his intention to return it meant he somewhat understood Mr. A's feelings, so it was enough to add a small amount of interest through mutual agreement. Instead of verbally saying 'I intend to return it,' he could quickly send the money and soothe Mr. A's twisted feelings to restore honor quickly and easily,,, but this time the signing doesn't seem that simple. The fact that he received 'only' 132 million won from an acquaintance because he had no living expenses or pocket money is also hard to accept. Netizens reacted with comments like, "Why did the hero of the 2002 World Cup borrow living expenses?" and "   He must have earned billions, so I can't understand it," but ,,,In fact, Lee Chun-soo received top-level treatment on the domestic stage and is presumed to have earned a considerable salary while performing in overseas leagues (Spain, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Japan, etc.),,,, is he not without money??? not a single penny???????
