On the November 11 broadcast of SBS Power FM’s “Kim Young Chul’s Power FM,” Lee Sang Min revealed, “There’s no longer a bank that I’m restricted from using now. I can make a bank account.” He added, “I didn’t make a new one, but I’m using the bank that I used in the past.”

After filing for a bankruptcy in 2005, Lee Sang Min has been diligently paying off his debt, which was revealed to have amounted to 6.98 billion won (approximately $6 million).

Lee Sang Min shared, “I have a positive equity this year. It still feels like a dream.” He continued, “My goal has stayed the same for a few years. I just want things to stay the way they are now. Living is always hard. I want to stay the way I am now without becoming arrogant, hasty, greedy, or wanting more.”

Following reports of him being free of debt, Lee Sang Min posted a screen shot of a chat with Kim Young Chul and clarified that he is not actually done repaying his debt.

In the conversation, Kim Young Chul shares a link to an article stating that he’s done repaying his debt and asks “Hyung you’re not done repaying right?” Lee Sang Min responded, “Aah! I haven’t.”

He added to the post, “Young Chul who always takes care of guests even until reports come out….thank you ㅠㅠ not yet but… I see hope… I always say this but… I love you [all]… I will repay everyone my whole life for this opportunity (How should I repay everyone^^;;) really..
