Lee Seung Gi comments on ”illegal acts by father-in-law”... ”I will cut ties with my wife's family”

Singer and actor Lee Seung Gi has apologized in connection with the indictment of his father-in-law and revealed his intention to cut ties with his wife, actress Lee DaIn's, family.
Lee Seung Gi said on the 29th (today) through management office BPM Entertainment, "Until now,
Although the illegal cases that had been repeatedly brought against my father-in-law were overturned and a fine was handed down, he was recently indicted again by the investigative authorities for a similar illegal act."
"I cannot help but feel devastated by my father-in-law's misconduct," she said in an official statement. She continued, "I deeply regret the careless comments I made last year without fully considering the case related to my father-in-law."
"I believe that appropriate punishment must be meted out to those who have committed illegal acts, and I deeply sympathize with the feelings of the victims who have suffered as a result of my careless judgment.
Lee Seung Gi also apologized, saying, "The trust between our families has been damaged to a level that is difficult to recover from, and after much deliberation, my wife and I have decided to cut ties with my wife's family.
"I have decided to live with more correct values and with an attitude of fulfilling my responsibilities for a healthy society," he said.
Previously, Lee Seung Gi has been embroiled in controversy over his wife's family home after marrying Lee DaIn in 2023.
Shortly after his marriage, Lee Seung Gi commented on the issue surrounding his father-in-law, who was indicted on suspicion of stock price manipulation, saying, "I don't know where some reporters and YouTubers got their information, but I'm sure they're all wrong.
He also received criticism for saying, "My wife didn't choose her parents, so how can you say we should break up over the issue of our parents?"
Last June, the Supreme Court overturned the acquittal of Lee Seung Gi's father-in-law, who was accused of manipulating stock prices through false disclosures.
Tokoro said, "I sincerely ask that you please not mention my family," and added, "Lee Seung Gi's father-in-law and mother-in-law have also become grandparents to this new life."
Lee Seung Gi also said about the affair at the press conference for the movie "Big Family," "After we got married, we moved out of my parents' and my wife's family home and moved into a new home.
I’m gardening,” he said, drawing a line.
