Popular singer and actor Lee Seung Gi has publicly announced a painful decision to cut ties with his in-laws following the latest legal developments surrounding his father-in-law. In a heartfelt statement released earlier today, Lee Seung Gi expressed his profound disappointment and the irreparable damage to the familial trust.

The announcement comes after his father-in-law faced a fine in a retrial for previous illegal activities and has now been newly indicted on similar charges. Lee Seung Gi shared his deep distress over these repeated legal issues, stating, “My father-in-law was sentenced to a fine in the appeal for the illegality continuously raised against him. Recently, he has been indicted by the authorities again for similar illegal acts. I feel devastated.”

This series of legal controversies has taken a significant toll on the family dynamics. Lee Seung Gi revealed the extent of the damage, explaining, “This has damaged the trust between our families so much that it is difficult to restore. After much thought, my wife and I have decided to cut ties with my in-laws.”

The public has previously scrutinized Lee Seung Gi in connection with allegations of stock price manipulation involving his father-in-law. While the actor initially refuted these claims, asserting their falsehood, his stance appears to have shifted in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling and the additional indictments.

Reflecting on his earlier statements, Lee Seung Gi expressed remorse, stating, “I deeply regret making rash remarks without adequately reviewing the issues. I sincerely apologize to the victims who suffered due to my rushed judgment.”

In his full statement, Lee Seung Gi conveyed the emotional weight of the situation:

“Hello, this is Lee Seung Gi. I apologize for delivering this message with a heavy heart. My father-in-law was sentenced to a fine in a retrial for illegal acts and was recently indicted by authorities again for similar unlawful acts. As someone who waited for the results based on trust as a family member, I cannot express how devastated I am about my father-in-law’s misconduct.

I deeply regret my rash remarks last year without sufficiently reviewing the matter. I believe that appropriate punishment should be given for illegal acts, and I apologize to the victims who suffered due to my hasty judgment and to those who trusted and supported me.

This has led our family to a point where our relationship is difficult to restore, and after much thought, my wife and I have decided to cut ties with my in-laws. I will live with righteous values and a more responsible attitude for a healthy society. I bow my head again for causing concern and disappointment due to personal matters. Thank you.”

Lee Seung Gi’s decisive action underscores the severity of the situation and his commitment to upholding ethical standards amidst challenging personal circumstances. The announcement marks a significant turning point in the couple’s relationship with his wife’s family and has drawn considerable attention from fans and the public alike.
