A fan wrote up a fan account of her experience at Lee Jae Jin's fan meet where she was 1 of 11 selected to have dinner and coffee with him. She revealed that she had to spend nearly 1.5 million won in merchandise for the opportunity and felt that it was ridiculous that he asked fans to go Dutch when it came time to pay for activities. She revealed receipts of a total of 770,000 won that he split with the fans.

1. [+1,181, -45] Sigh, talk about one dirty character

2. [+1,050, -41] I really don't want to see this guy again

3. [+1,020, -45] Can't believe people are willing to go and spend money to see a crazy guy like him ㅋㅋㅋ do they not have better things to do? Spend that money on a nice gift for your parents

4. [+110, -3] Isn't it more surprising that a guy like him has fans?

5. [+110, -1] Sigh tsk tsk. Sechs Kies probably has a headache because of this guy. Can't even throw him out since he's still a member... Knock it off, man. Stop getting in the way of your members like this.

6. [+108, -2] Whenever I saw him on TV, I always felt like he lacked empathy. He struggles to feel any emotions that others are feeling. I thought he was weird at the time but now I'm thinking he might be a psychopath.

7. [+91, -1] Probably thought he was wasting time with those people so he'd rather not pay up...

8. [+85, -0] Something about him scares me... he's not "unique", just scary... best not to piss him off

9. [+68, -1] He doesn't even share his phone number with his own members. Isn't it obvious how weird he is? Thank goodness he's a celebrity, imagine the weird things he would've done if he was a non-celebrity..

10. [+46, -4] I don't get how he can do this to his own fans... Fans who came all that way to see him, fans who turned down all those young, fresh idol groups to devote their time to some ajusshi in his forties... did he really need to go Dutch? It's not like that night cost thousands or anything...

11. [+38, -1] Can't believe someone would spend 1.5 million won to go see a hopeless guy like him...

12. [+34, -1] He's ruining Sechs Kies' image all on his own. What is he thinking? Lee Eun Joo or Yang Hyun Suk need to control him better. Didn't even seem like he was listening to Eun Ji Won.
