While actor Lee Seung-gi (36) and Gyeon Mi-ri’s daughter Da-in (31) announced their marriage, netizens continued to leave critical comments on Lee Seung-gi’s SNS (social network service).
Netizens are expressing their disappointment toward Lee Seung-gi by re-examining even the comments left by Lee Da-in online in the past. As there are some criticism comments that go beyond the limit, attention is focused on whether Lee Seung-gi will respond.
Lee Seung-gi announced his marriage to Da-in through Instagram on the 7th. He revealed her handwritten letter, revealing, “She (Lee Da-in) is someone I want to have by my side forever, with her warm heart and a lot of love.”
Many netizens congratulated the couple on their marriage announcement, but some raised their voices of criticism. It’s been a week since the marriage announcement post was posted, but the criticism continues.
Netizens wrote comments in real time, saying, “How can Lee Seung-gi, who is fighting a court battle with his former agency for embezzlement and fraud, marry into a family that has caused so many victims?”, “It doesn’t make sense to harm others and live happily. …Never be happy” and so on.
In particular, some netizens shed light on Lee Da-in’s remarks in the past. In the past, Lee Da-in posted a picture of her room on Instagram and wrote, “I’m very excited to have a TV in the living room of my room.”
In addition, the contents of Da-in’s handwritten letter that Gyeon Mi-ri revealed was also mentioned. In Da-in’s letter, there was a message related to stepfather A, saying, “Since my father will be coming soon (after being released from prison), let’s spend a year full of happiness.”
Mr. A was sentenced to prison in 2011 for making unfair profits by manipulating stock prices in the past. Afterwards, Mr. A was released in 2014, but was arrested again in 2016 on the same charge and sentenced to 4 years in prison and a fine of 2.5 billion won in the first trial. However, the case was later acquitted on appeal.
Netizens are in the position that daughter Da-in has nothing to take legal responsibility for the allegation of Mr. A, but as Da-in Da-in has openly posted on social media boasting of her father’s wealth, the voice of criticism should be endured.

“Did you try to make a donation like this?”… Sincerity image also hit

As Lee Da-in’s past SNS posts, which showed off his father’s wealth, were re-examined, it is pointed out that the image of a sincere and upright young man Lee Seung-gi has built up so far has been damaged.
One netizen commented on Lee Seung-gi’s SNS, saying, “I don’t want to see people who have lived through the tears of others’ blood and enjoy everything on TV anymore.” I wish it wasn’t there,” he said.
In addition, criticism was raised that Lee Seung-gi’s stance and actions were contradictory when he donated 2.85 billion won out of the 5 billion won unpaid money he received from his former agency.
At the time, Lee Seung-gi said, “I thought it was my mission to show that the value of someone’s sweat shouldn’t be unfairly used for someone’s greed.”
Netizens criticized, “I wonder if (Lee Seung-gi’s) remarks and actions match,” and “Is the value of someone’s sweat applied only to him? Are you blindfolded and deaf to the damage of others?”

Should we take legal action against the indiscriminate accusations?

As much as there is a lot of public opinion criticizing Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in online, there are also criticism comments that cross the line, such as personal attacks. Regarding this, Lee Seung-gi’s side has not yet released a position, but attention is focused on future responses.
Previously, in 2021, Lee Seung-gi took legal action against unfounded rumors and malicious comments. At the time, Lee Seung-gi’s side said, “We will not stand by and watch the actions of malicious commenters who damage personality and honor and inflict mental pain.”
“We will make sure that they receive criminal punishment commensurate with their crimes, and separately, they will be held liable for compensation for damages under reasonable civil law, so that malicious commenters can be found,” he said. “We will respond with zero tolerance without any agreement or leniency. did.
In 2019, Lee Seung-gi’s side waged a large-scale war against malicious commenters, and in the following year (2020), the legal response result was revealed that one malicious commenter was sentenced to a fine of 5 million won in court.
Meanwhile, Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in will hold a private wedding on April 7 at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul Parnas in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
