Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi has officially apologized to the victims hurt by his father-in-law’s crimes — and announced he has decided to cut ties with his in-laws.

On April 29 KST, Lee Seung Gi shared a heartfelt statement. He said,

"As someone who waited, trusting my family, I cannot hide my deep sadness over my father-in-law’s actions. I also reflect deeply on my careless words from last year when I spoke without properly checking the facts."

He continued,

"I believe that any illegal act must be punished properly. I feel very sorry for the victims who suffered because of my quick and careless judgment, and I sincerely apologize to them. I also feel deep regret towards everyone who trusted and supported me."

Lee Seung Gi added,

"Because of this incident, the trust within my family has been badly broken and cannot be fixed. After a lot of thought, my wife and I have decided to completely cut ties with my in-laws. From now on, I promise to live with the right values and take responsibility to help make a better society."

This all comes after a long legal battle involving his father-in-law. In June last year, the Supreme Court overturned a not guilty ruling and sent the case back for retrial.

The case involved A, the husband of actress Kyeon Mi Ri (Lee Seung Gi’s mother-in-law). A was accused of working with a CEO named Kim to manipulate stock prices between 2014 and 2016. They allegedly made false announcements to raise stock prices and made billions of won illegally.

It was claimed that they used Kyeon Mi Ri’s name and Chinese investors to trick people into thinking there would be a big investment. This led the stock price to shoot up from about 2,000 KRW to around 15,000 KRW per share. However, it turned out that the money they claimed to invest was mostly borrowed, not personal funds.

At the first trial, A was sentenced to 4 years in prison and fined 2.5 billion KRW, while Kim was given 3 years in prison and fined 1.2 billion KRW. Even though they were found not guilty later in a second trial, the Supreme Court later ruled them guilty.

Meanwhile, Lee Seung Gi married actress Lee Da In (Kyeon Mi Ri’s daughter) in April 2023. The couple welcomed their daughter in February 2024.

Fans are shocked but are showing support for Lee Seung Gi as he chooses to stand up for what is right, even if it means cutting ties with family.
