Introduction

In an unexpected turn of events, beloved actor Lee Seung Gi has addressed the swirling controversy surrounding his in-laws at the production briefing for his upcoming film, ‘About Family.’ This event took place on the morning of November 12 KST at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Seoul’s bustling Gwangjin District.

Background on the Controversy

Lee Seung Gi, who ties the knot with actress Lee Da In, the daughter of renowned actress Kyeon Mi Ri, in 2023, has found himself in the eye of a media storm following a significant legal ruling concerning his in-laws. The controversy erupted back in June when Kyeon Mi Ri’s husband—previously charged with stock manipulation—had his not-guilty ruling unexpectedly overturned. This situation led Lee to step forward, urging, "Please leave my family out of this."

Lee Seung Gi's Statement

At the briefing, the actor treaded carefully, saying, “As it’s been a while since my last movie release, I’m cautious about discussing personal matters.” He emphasized the importance of respecting his family's privacy, mentioning, “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.”

Clarification and Future Caution

Lee also noted that his comments may have caused misunderstandings, adding, “If my comments caused any misunderstandings, I’ll act with more caution going forward.” His plea for privacy marks a significant moment as he balances personal challenges with his professional life.
