Lee Seung-gi Responds to In-Laws Controversy “My Wife and I Have an Independent Household, I’ll Be More Cautious Going Forward”

The press conference for the film “About Family” was held today (Nov 12th) at 11 AM at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University. Director Yang Woo-seok and actors Kim Yoon-seok, Lee Seung-gi, Kim Sung-ryung, Kang Han-na and Park Soo-young were in attendance.

Previously, Lee Seung-gi hinted at taking legal action against malicious comments related to the stock manipulation controversy surrounding his father-in-law, known as Mr. A, who is the husband of actress Kyeon Mi-ri. Questions regarding this matter were raised at today’s event.

Addressing the issue, Lee Seung-gi said, “It seems my statement that ‘family is not at fault’ may have caused some misunderstanding. What I’ve consistently said is that ‘the in-laws’ matters are their own’. Since getting married, my wife and I have established an independent household. I don’t feel it’s appropriate to go into further detail on this topic, and I intend to be more cautious going forward.”

Lee Seung-gi married actress Lee Da-in, daughter of Kyeon Mi-ri, in April last year, and they welcomed a daughter in February this year.

Ahead of Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in’s wedding, suspicions resurfaced that A was involved in a past stock manipulation case. In response, Kyeon Mi-ri’s side stated through legal representatives in February last year that Kyeon Mi-ri and her husband had no connection to the stock manipulation case and declared that they would take legal action against the spread of false information.

In particular, Lee Seung-gi’s agency emphasized “This matter involves events that occurred before Lee Seung-gi’s marriage and is an issue that the family must resolve. We earnestly request that the family be left out for Lee Seung-gi’s sake”, thereby drawing a clear line regarding the controversy.
