Chimchakman returns embezzled rice to society after 15 years omg

The once-famous "Yugumi (Rice) Embezzlement Incident" involving Chimchakman (Lee Mal-nyeon)
Back when Chimchakman was active as Lee Mal-nyeon
He won Yugumi rice twice through a giveaway event under the names Lee Mal-nyeon and Lee Byeong-geon (his real name)
Everyone thought he had only received 20kg at the time
But if you look closely at the winner's list, he actually got a total of 40kg, including entries for Tongdak Cheonsa Lee Se-hwa (Chimchakman's sister) and Shin Hyun-gyu (a close friend of Chimchakman)
Then, in 2023, he provided an explanation regarding the Yugumi embezzlement incident
- Below is the content from today's (7/24) broadcast
Here is how it happened
One day, I got a call from an acquaintance around my age who was just starting their career (around 2008-2009)
They asked if I needed any rice
So I said, "Sure, that would be great~"
"How much do you need?"
I don't remember exactly, but I probably said, "The more the better~"
Then, about 4 or 5 bags of rice arrived
But it turns out that acquaintance was the event manager, and they hadn't reached the quota of winners
But if they reported that the quota wasn't met, their superiors would think they managed it poorly and they'd get chewed out
So they just filled the remaining slots with random acquaintances... (Lee Se-hwa, Shin Hyun-gyu, Lee Mal-nyeon, Lee Byeong-geon)
However, I couldn't reveal the reason because it would have put my acquaintance in a difficult position...
And the problem was that I was the one who received it, so I had nothing to say
So when asked, "Is it true that you greedily claimed the prize twice?"
All I could say was, "I'm sorry..."
Only after 12 years am I revealing the truth...
And in today's news
He returned the 40kg of Yugumi rice to society as 2,950kg omg
For reference, the restaurant called 'Youth Table Mungan' is a place where priests and pastors volunteer to provide meals for hungry young people
