Press Conference for “About Family”Highlights Lee Seung-gi’s Legal Concerns
The much-anticipated press conference for the film “About Family” took place today, November 12th, at 11 AM at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University. The event was graced by Director Yang Woo-seok alongside a stellar cast, including Kim Yoon-seok, Lee Seung-gi, Kim Sung-ryung, Kang Han-na, and Park Soo-young.
Lee Seung-gi Addresses Family Controversy
During the conference, Lee Seung-gi faced questions regarding the ongoing controversy surrounding his father-in-law, referred to as Mr. A, in connection to allegations of stock manipulation. This topic follows prior hints from Lee about pursuing legal action against defamatory comments related to these claims.
Responding to the inquiries, Lee clarified, “My statement that ‘family is not at fault’ may have caused some misunderstanding. My wife and I have built an independent household since our marriage, and I believe it is inappropriate to delve deeper into this matter. Moving forward, I aim to be more cautious.”
Background on the Controversy
Lee Seung-gi tied the knot with actress Lee Da-in, daughter of Kyeon Mi-ri, in April last year, and the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in February 2023.
As wedding preparations unfolded, resurfacing allegations suggested Mr. A’s involvement in a past stock manipulation incident. In response, Kyeon Mi-ri’s legal representatives asserted last February that neither she nor her spouse were linked to these allegations and vowed to pursue legal action against those spreading false information.
Agency Stance and Future Implications
Lee Seung-gi’s management team has been vocal about separating the family matters from the public discourse, strongly stating, “This issue pertains to events that occurred prior to Lee Seung-gi’s marriage and should be resolved privately within the family. We kindly request that the family be spared from this controversy for the sake of Lee Seung-gi.” This stance illustrates the intent to protect familial integrity amidst challenging circumstances.
As the situation evolves, both the film and the personal issues surrounding its lead actor are sure to attract continued media attention.
