Lee Seung Gi Suddenly Turns Against His Wife’s Family!!
On the morning of November 12 KST, at the production briefing for the film ‘About Family’ held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Seoul’s Gwangjin District, Lee commented, “As it’s been a while since my last movie release, I’m cautious about discussing personal matters.”
Lee Seung Gi married actress Lee Da In, daughter of actress Kyeon Mi Ri, in 2023. In June, controversy arose when the not-guilty ruling of Kyeon Mi Ri’s husband, who was charged with stock manipulation, was overturned. Lee responded through his agency, saying, “Please leave my family out of this.”
Lee clarified, “As senior actor Kim Yoon Seok mentioned, I’m careful about bringing up personal matters with ‘About Family’ movie coming out after a long time. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding. My wife’s family’s matters are separate. Since our marriage, my wife and I have established our own independent household. I don’t think it’s appropriate to further address this issue. If my comments caused any misunderstandings, I’ll act with more caution going forward.”
Lee Seung Gi’s statement caused a stir among the Korean public. Many people were surprised when the male star changed his attitude and kept his distance from his wife’s family. Previously, Lee Seung Gi had repeatedly spoken out to defend Lee Da In: “My wife cannot choose her parents.” Last June, Lee Seung Gi’s side also said that they would sue malicious comments, when the news that his father-in-law was re-prosecuted for stock manipulation had not yet spread widely. The action that was considered defending his father-in-law seriously damaged Lee Seung Gi’s reputation!
