Baseball player-turned-broadcaster Kang Byung-kyu is making headlines for mentioning top actor A, whom he gambled with in Macau.

On the 31st, a video titled ‘[Non Non Non] Top Stars Met at the Casino ep. 6’ was uploaded to YouTube‘s ‘Fix Channel’. Kang Byung-kyu mentioned various celebrities he met in Macau, and after saying “I really didn’t want to say it but I‘m telling you now”, he revealed an anecdote from his time in Macau with famous top actor A. All of the people Kang Byung-kyu mentioned that day were muted.

Kang Byung-kyu started by saying, “A’s manager called several bar girls from Korea. A‘s partner, a regular bar madam, came to Macau with several of them”. He continued by saying, “I’ve never had a meal or a drink with A, and when we first met at a baccarat hall in Macau, I was surprised by two things. One was, “He plays this game too,” and the other was “the game style.”

Kang Byung-kyu reenacted the reason he was shocked by A‘s behavior, saying, “A kept sticking her tongue out and smoking a cigarette. She also swore at the foreign dealer.” Shin Jung-hwan was flustered and asked back, “You’ve seen a lot of people, haven‘t you?”

According to Kang Byung-kyu, after that, A won 50 million won and went to the room where the woman was waiting, and they met again the next day. He added, “A came again, but she wasn’t playing a game. When I asked her about a watch she hadn‘t seen before, she said, ”I have to spend some extra money,“ and gave her some pocket money, and she bought a luxury watch used at a pawn shop near the casino. It was so shocking.”

Meanwhile, Kang Byung-kyu stopped his activities after being sentenced to prison for illegal gambling worth 1 billion won in 2008 and fraud in 2013. He has recently been appearing on YouTube with Shin Jung-hwan.
