The Full Story Behind Lee Seung Gi And Lee Da In’s Controversial Relationship
Many had tried to dissuade him from marriage, provided that the general public was beneath the impression that Lee Da In’s dad and mom had manipulated shares, inflicting financial victims.
Lee Seung Gi has lastly stepped up, making a public assertion on his Instagram. The submit coated a couple of subjects, together with the corrected information behind Lee Da In’s household’s case, HOOK Leisure‘s manipulation of him earlier than he left the corporate, and his future along with his new spouse. Learn on to search out out extra.
1. The damaging sentiment relating to Lee Da In’s household
Final 12 months, in December, the general public praised me once I donated the ₩5.00 billion KRW (about $3.79 million USD) that I acquired from my former company. Many individuals confirmed me assist and gave me braveness. I believe I lived in that reward for about two months. Once I introduced my marriage to my spouse, Lee Da In, the ambiance switched up. Nevertheless it doesn’t matter to me. Donations and receiving good feedback are various things. I didn’t make that donation to win the assist of the general public.
I’ve at all times believed that the general public is correct. If the general public doesn’t like one thing, there may be normally a cause. However, at some instances, it does really feel unfair. For instance, when the general public doesn’t know the reality.
“Embezzling ₩26.0 billion KRW (about $19.7 million USD) via inventory manipulation, leading to 300,000 victims?”
That is clear misinformation. I don’t know the place a portion of reporters and YouTubers acquired this data from, however it’s utterly false. Lee Da In’s dad and mom have filed a criticism with the Media Arbitration Committee in opposition to the 5 media shops which have reported the information. (Sports activities Traits, TenAsia, Expo’s Information, Celeb Media, and Wikitree.) These reporters have been unable to show it and the Arbitration Committee request a correction of the articles made by these shops. These shops responded in unison and stated they “would right the information” and launched corrected stories. (I’ll connect the content material of the corrected articles on the backside of this submit.)
2. The corrected information as connected by Lee Seung Gi
The concerned media shops corrected their content material as the next.
On February 15, 2023, TenAsia said on the leisure subject web page of its web site, there was no point out of “Lee Seung Gi’s sufferer…” Underneath the title of “Newlyweds solely emphasised accountability for the household,” they’d said that Lee Seung Gi’s parents-in-law have been monetary criminals, Kyeon Mi Ri and Lee Hong Heon, who produced greater than 300,000 victims.
Nevertheless, because of confirming the information, Lee Hong Heon was not responsible of any crime in regards to the 2016 inventory manipulation case. Alternatively, the court docket has already acknowledged that because of the inspector’s biasedness, he grew to become a sufferer of being a scapegoat. Secondly, Kyeon Mi Ri additionally has no connection to the 2016 inventory manipulation case and there’s no content material wherever within the judgment of the case that she is an confederate within the 2016 inventory worth manipulation case or is concerned within the crime. There isn’t any proof that the 2016 inventory manipulation case produced round 300,000 victims and that there have been some who took excessive measures. Alternatively, a minority of the stockholders in BotaBio filed a lawsuit for harm compensation in opposition to among the workers together with Lee Hong Heon, for inventory manipulation. Within the lawsuit, the court docket dominated that there isn’t any reality behind the relation of Lee Hong Heon to the inventory manipulation of BotaBio and it was dominated that each one the requests for compensation in opposition to Lee Hong Heon from the stockholders have been dismissed.
This correction has been mediated by the Media Arbitration Committee.
3. Media manipulation and gaslighting from HOOK Leisure
Lee Seung Gi talked about how information reporters have been disappointing of their failure to fact-check. He additionally uncovered his former company for making an attempt to manage him utilizing his spouse’s matter.
At present, on April 12, Cash At present additionally launched this text. “Simply what did he should need for…? Lee Seung Gi’s wedding ceremony PPL scandal.” On February 2, the identical outlet additionally launched the article known as “Swallowing up ₩26.0 billion KRW (about $19.7 million USD), will Lee Seung Gi develop into the son-in-law of a scammer?”
There have been points within the superstar world previously as a result of sponsored wedding ceremony ceremonies. I perceive that most individuals have their weddings at their very own expense. For myself as effectively, I needed to deal with my company to a very good meal to specific my gratitude with none sponsorship. Reporter Chae Tae Byung, I really feel remorse that you just didn’t name my firm. If you happen to requested, saying, “such rumors are going round,” I might have replied to you intimately.
One media workers stated this:
“Seung Gi. Have you learnt why reporters don’t name? It’s as a result of if the scandal is just not true, they can’t write about it. However scandalous articles obtain excessive views. That’s why they don’t name in order that they will write their articles.”
Then instantly, I considered the article, “Lee Seung Gi can not handle such harmful conditions as a result of he has no correct administration.” Did they not name me due to that article?
Reporter Chae. I’ve a brand new firm too. And a supervisor who has labored with me for 10 years. Sooner or later, earlier than you write articles, please name me.
Since we’re on the subject of my administration, I recall the article from TenAsia titled “Lee Seung Gi, who can’t even handle a disaster, shouldn’t be dreaming of a candy newlywed life proper now.” It was an article written by Reporter Woo Bin, who had treasured me a lot. At the moment, he wrote, “Proper now, what Lee Seung Gi wants is just not assist however a administration who may give him recommendation.” As examples, he listed HOOK Leisure, who had “created a very good picture of me as a former college pupil’s consultant” and “Lee Solar Hee’s protegee.”
Mr Reporter, let me inform you one thing scary. If you wish to examine extra on this after, please give me a name.
At some point, a director from HOOK known as me. They stated, “Media outlet Reporter A is wanting into Lee Da In’s father. If issues are printed within the media, issues will get out of hand.” They tried to scare me like this. Not lengthy after, they instructed me, “We solved it. We actually tried arduous to dam the article,” as they tried to point out it off.
However the world is so small. I acquired to know that reporter via some individuals. Reporter A instructed me, “HOOK Leisure discovered a media reporter that had been going round leaving feedback. They acquired in contact with me they usually requested me if I may take successful at Lee Da In’s father.”
That was how HOOK tamed me. It may be known as “HOOK-lighting” (HOOK’s gaslighting). Then, they instantly requested me for a gift. They known as me to the third flooring of the constructing, the place they loved having gamjatang. That was how they requested me to pay for issues a couple of instances on the premise of a gift.
Reporter Woo Bin. You instructed the PR firm I work with that it was “a good criticism of Lee Seung Gi out of affection for him,” and that you’re at all times open so they need to organize for me to fulfill with you, proper?
If “The son-in-law appeases, whereas the mother-in-law threatens, “Lavish wedding ceremony and rumors of pre-marital being pregnant,” and “Lee Seung Gi’s picture crashes along with his marriage,” are thought of criticism out of affection… Then it looks like I’m nonetheless reasonably missing.
4. A message to followers
Lee Seung Gi rounded off by addressing his followers and his plans for the long run as a married man.
To the followers who’ve treasured me. Firstly, I’m sorry. I heard that you just guys have been very damage because of the flood of articles because of the problems with my spouse’s household bursting out. One fan additionally stated that that was why she needed to cease my marriage.
As soon as extra, I’m sorry. Even my shut acquaintances additionally suggested me to interrupt up, telling me to consider my picture. It was very irritating. My spouse didn’t select her dad and mom… And so how may I ask to interrupt up as a result of her dad and mom’ points?
I’ve a promise with my spouse Lee Da In, that was made earlier than and after marriage. “Transferring ahead, let’s dwell as we pay it again.” We are going to look over the locations that need assistance and handle those which might be hurting extra. I’ll preserve this decision it doesn’t matter what the malicious feedback say.
Lastly, many individuals got here to our wedding ceremony and congratulated us. Thanks from the underside of my coronary heart. As I considered how I can repay this gratitude, I assumed that it will be extra significant for the congratulatory cash to be spent on youngsters who’re in tough circumstances.
We plan on donating all of the congratulatory cash that comes into our names to assist the less-fortunate youngsters.
I’ve lived 20 years of my life as a star. I’ve by no means spoken out with such feelings earlier than. After all, there will likely be issues individuals can decide a bone with on this submit too. And lots of malicious reporters may also use this submit as a place to begin as soon as extra. Even so, the rationale I’ve taken the braveness to submit that is…
From my relationship scandal to the marriage, and even now, 5 days after the marriage, I’ve been having it arduous because of the information blended with degradation and mockery. And what’s extra, is that I used to be slowly feeling smaller as I learn the malicious feedback that give power to such pretend information.
I received’t ask you to congratulate my marriage. However please look over it. I’ll share my life with Lee Da In. I believe that that’s the finest I can do.
