South Korean actor and singer Lee Seung-gi has formally cut ties with his in-laws following a high-profile legal scandal involving his wife Lee Da-in’s father. The actor made the public announcement citing “trust has been broken” in a clear indication of a personal and emotional distance created by recent events.
Lee Da-in’s father has been indicted for alleged stock manipulation, a charge that has drawn intense media scrutiny and public backlash. As the controversy deepens, Lee Seung-gi’s move is being interpreted as a firm attempt to protect his career and reputation amidst the storm.
The couple’s marriage, which had already sparked mixed reactions from fans due to past controversies surrounding Da-in’s family, now faces increased public interest and pressure. Seung-gi’s loyal fanbase has largely expressed support for his decision, praising him for taking a strong ethical stance in the wake of the scandal.
Although Lee Seung-gi has not intimated any marital breakup, his public break with his in-laws highlights the extent to which the case is intruding into his personal life. Industry sources say that this may be a turning point in both his public reputation and personal relationships.
