To give this situation some context, Lee Da In's step father and her mom were primarily investigated for the case. Bc her step father was the director of this company and her mom was one of the major share holders. They both made about a total of 4.5B KRW out of that(don't quote me on this one bc everyone has different nos and mostly they publicised what Lee earned not his wife for she got a clean chit) while many people committed suicide, went through financial difficulties and had their lives ruined altogether. After all that, Lee Da In's mom was given a clean chit bc her stepfather admitted that he used his wife's name, i.e., Lee Da In's mom's name who is a well known actress, saying she is investing in his company so it is stable while it was still facing huge losses. People trusted that and invested in the company even more. Later only her stepfather went to jail for 4 yrs and paid 2 billion fine. All that money that was made out of scamming is still there, the company is still there and they are still earning from it. They mostly dislike Lee Da In for showcasing her wealth through social media despite all that. She, her mom and her sister are still very much connected to the money they earned through scamming is why they keep getting scorned. Also know that it was not the first time her stepfather scammed people, this was his third time. When he did this whole scam he was out on parole. So while idc who Lee Suengi or any other celeb dates, I hope you get why Lee Da In and her family is so badly scorned.
@@Yeonjuns_respect07but dear , she does enjoy all the perks of such crimes that those very parents committed. It's not like she moved out or apologized or didn't use that blood-stained money . N here no one wants to say that she has to have a part in what her parents do but it's just humanity that prevents others from accepting such people bcz they themselves show nothing close to humane or anything. No remorse no regret. Although it doesn't matter to LSG or LDI who thinks what. As they are now happily married. So gone(dead) are the goners but the living does live out a full life of luxury.. (It's a saying of Korea and these people have put it into great selfish, twisted use)
@@onlyone266 Lol you have to be joking. You clearly know nothing abt this case. It's the 2nd biggest scam in Korean history. They scammed hundreds of thousands of ppl, hid the money in foreign banks and till this day they and the daughters live lavishly bc of that.
Yes. He did decide to marry even though he was forewarned by close friends. He knew the public’s opinion, but still went forward so he should accept the consequences, but can’t seem to.
@@KMYoung-ep8pk Maybe because he knows more about her then we, outsiders, do so he chose according to his heart and morals. The press can not be trusted 100% and public opinion is too easily influenced and it's not always right either...
There's more to it if you care to actually look into Lee Da In and her family's wealth, at least that's the claim. I'm not saying whether it's true or not as I have no evidence for anything. He can date whoever he wants and people can hate whoever they want too. Also whoever told you following your heart is the right thing is definitely lying to you.
I have a more nuanced opinion. Lee Seunggi is allowed to marry anyone he wants. However, as a public figure his actions will be held to a higher scrutiny than normal people. It's perfectly valid for the fans to be turned off and stop supporting him so long as they don't commit harmful acts. I'm pretty sure international fans are going to be more lenient as always. It's an unfortunate situation but if they truly love each other then I'm sure losing the support of other people won't mean much.
As an international person who only stumbled across this short by accident: I find it interesting that no one accuses her here of using him and trying to scam him.
Yeah, I'm really late on this... I think the only problem I have with this whole situation is that there was no apology. My lord they're your parents, step or not, your family. At least acknowledge what happened and do something for the victims of this. Idk like at least send prayers their way. Myself, it's my family and I would at least apologized for them. It was her attitude and entitlement that got me. Really smug. Anyways, she'll reap what she sows and no one escapes karma.. 🙏🙏✌✌🐰🐰💗💗
@@babymine5482Yeah... She could have chosen to use the money for those victims if she had a conscience. Showing it off shows how much she cares about the victims, and him marrying him her, is the same. As a public figure, people are rightfully questioning his values and his image is gonna be attached to it from now on. It is his choice, he knew it all along, so he needs to take responsibility for it.
I can understand fans being worried hes being played. Like I could see a senario where her family is using him to make their families image better. It's actually more common than people think. I do trust he can judge people correctly, having followed him for so long. But I also know how hes too nice sometimes. All I hope is he doesn't become among the list of male celebrities with crazy ex wifes. We dont need another ahn jaehyun
Honestly, I'm weary about the relationship too. He's the one who is giving up so much and I think they may have gotten engaged when he was particularly vulnerable and she was a source of immense support. It's totally plausible that he's blinded by love. However, no one *actually* knows Da In as a person. They just have the absolute worst image of her based on her family & some pictures from years ago (I think. I have no idea about her instagram nor do I care). Maybe she was immature & tone deaf. Maybe she's changed due to being with him. Maybe she changed just in general. I have faith that _something_ about her must've clicked for Seung Gi and it was worth putting everything on the line. Even if they don't work out, I would still support Seung Gi (even though he would so get bombared with "I told you sos") because he is just a guy who fell deeply in love.
@@britneyisallyouneedtoknow2406 I would agree with that. I think people dont realize being a fan sometimes means worrying about them like u would a sibling. U want to trust in their judgment, but u worry, however at end of day they are adults who make their own decisions. And at end of day all we can do is try to support them, but also understand those who are upset. Especially those who were directly affected by her families scandle, regardless if she actually changed or not
@@haley4699 EXACTLY! That's why it hurts to see all the hate and mistreatment he's facing. And yeah, I *do* get why there is backlash against her and people don't want them together.
The victims, and those who empathize with the victims have a right to be pissed off as much as they want. Him dating her also raises that women’s wealth and status (which I’m sure she’s profiting off of). She never distanced herself from her family, or condemned her family’s actions. She shows no remorse for continually using her family’s blood money. Who would possibly want to be with someone like that?
@Diana I understand your point and agree to an extent, but my original comment has nothing to do with his now wife or her family. As a individual that appreciates Seungi's many talents and is aware of how toxic the industry he works in can be, I was just expressing that I believe he deserves to be happy. He hasn't wronged anyone (as far as I'm aware). Everyone may not agree with his choices, but who am I to judge?
That sucks because he has no part in the crime that his in-law did but then again he chose to become part of the family and engulf into this messy situation. Plus, it's very much natural for people to form perceptions when you do certain acts. Like, can't expect people not to throw side-eyes on LSG for marrying into an alleged fraud family. He chose this life because he loves the woman. Definitely not our place to change his life decision but this is the repurcussion of the choice that he had made and he got to go through it somehow.
She’s benefited from the harm her parents caused and she has made it clear she doesn’t care that her fathers actions led to families being destroyed, that it led to people dying. So no I can’t give a break to someone who is very happy to revel in the misery caused to others.
No. I mean she didnt do anything and if hes happy with her, let them be. I mean she isnt her parents. Edit: Thank you for the likes. And I get where u guys are coming from saying she is using the money from her parents and that. But I still believe it isnt her fault and she shouldn't be blamed for it. Edit 2: please be nice guys. I get it we all have our own opinions but there is absolutely no reason to go at each other so please let's be respectful to each other. Edit 3: let me say it again I dont think she did anything wrong personally. Disagree with me all u want but I wont answer to any of them anymore. I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with ppl on the internet.
Yep it was her parents not her that did what they did. Really i think it depon her personality as to what id form my opinion on. That being said i see no issue
@@ZaiZai_Zeythen you don’t really know how Korean agency works. After the LSG incident only they officially demand the agencies to be transparent with the artists. So yes maybe many of our biases being mistreated without us knowing anything
There are lots of good celebrities in korea that could replace Lee losing a sense of justice. I know his girlfriend did not make any illegal things but she showed off her weath from the scam on social media. She had to show some careful attitudes if she has the humiliating family history by her parents coz many people still are struggling from her parents' serious crime.
There are insane people out there who straight up say that he doesn't appreciate his fans and is being selfish! Can you believe that? How unbelievably narcissistic!
@@user-od5qt1rt2c have you seen the latest bs? He is getting hate again now because him and his wife dare to like each other posts on insta and are suspected to have gone out together to a cafe! Even on his own fansite, k fans straight up demanding and ordering him around on what he is allowed to post on his own personal social media. They can't stand to see this man show the slightest bit of happiness and affection. Really sad.
The family gained millions of dollars from this stock manipulation and I’m pretty sure the entire family never publicly or privately apologized to any of the affected individuals and their families as well. Da in’s mother addressed the situation only because of the hate Da in is receiving from the news of their engagement. While I do believe it’s Seunggi’s choice, as a long-time fan I can’t deny that there is a disappointing feeling about this situation knowing that his image will irrefutably suffer by being associated with this scandal. I cant say if it’ll have a permanent strain but regardless, for fans who praised Seunggi’s character and ability to be free of scandal, this whole situation is very messy. (sorry for poor english, it’s not my first language)
Why should she have to apologize for the actions of her parents? What they did was disgusting but as far as I can see, she played no part. Why should she be treated like a villain for the actions of others?
@@bodaciousmos Millions as in money? Well, wouldn't you? Perhaps you wouldn't, I don't believe I would merely because I don't really use much social media and don't tend to be a braggy person, but a lot of people fall into the trap of "showing off" what they have, if you will. Especially in Korea. I'm no expert but I did live in Korea for a couple years and it's extremely common for people to display their wealth if they have it or buy things that are too expensive for them just to be seen as rich. It's unfortunate.
urge to fight those people poking their nose in other's relationship. THIS MAN HAS GONE THROUGH A LOT JUST LOOK AT THE RECENT ISSUE WITH HIS FORMER COMPANY. wishing him a happy love life is the least people can do for him. da-in need not feel responsible for her parents doing
"da in need not feel responsible for her parents doing" Hmmmm???!?!? I beg to differ!! Its NOT as black and white as you are trying to make it out to be!!!!! When Da In clearly clearly clearly financially benefited and will be the BENEFICIARY from her family wrongdoings then she is somehow responsible. More over Da In NEVER PUBLICLY CONDEMNED HER PARENTS WRONGDOINGS OR PUT DISTANCE BETWEEN HERSELF AND HER FAMILY!!
@@buuuuuuuuuu you do realize i was talking about k-pop every single one of them gets drama because insecure or mad so called fans hates their new gf or something else the Selena is just a one time thing
U don’t know the whole story dont you😂.. she is not a good person..she was showing off her luxury bags bought by her mom with the blood money in ig during the time when victims sui***de and whole nation was mourning for their death..if she had a thing called conscience she wouldn’t have done this and would have lay low until matter is cooled down instead of flaunting her riches..just think how would the victims family feels when they see her posts during a tragedy time like this ..Koreans felt so mad annd felt like she was mocking the victims
True. But it's common knowledge that her lifestyle is built from ill-gotten gains. She likely knows but doesn't care. A repentant person would try to separate themselves from that. But they flaunt it shamelessly. Don't make assumptions. Base your intellectual charity on the behaviour of the accused.
Idk i hv mixed feelings. Need more info on how they first got together, n definitely more info on this woman's personality. I feel like the daughter living in the building shows that she either approve her parents doing or dont care abt it. But then lee seunggi is pretty old and obv mature enough to make decisions on who to take as a wife
they met playing golf and their relationship grew from there. As for her personality, we don't know anything. Apart from scrutinising her social media, no one knows her in real life. Seungi says she is a warm, kind person who has supported him in a lot. His own mother, who understandably didn't approve at first, said she is a kind and warm person. It's up to you what you want to believe. Personally, I don't believe he would risk his entire 20 year spotless career for someone who is like their parents. She must have a good side to her. It's hard for me judge Dain's entire position, her step father may have committed a crime but for all intents and purposes is a great dad to her. No one knows how she dealt with it, did she believe it fully, did she wilfully remain ignorant because she didn't want to believe? Was she receiving a distorted. perverted version of the truth from her mother? I honestly don't know. I guess time will tell whether or not this couple will survive. For Seungi's sake I hope they do, he seems so happy with her and Dain too seems to really love him.
@@laraibahmed3090 your comments sounds reasonable and all rounded. We never know her role in this unless we are in her shoe. There's reason to dislike her but it will be unfair to do it from our subjective point of view. Expecting that time will bring to us her side of the story if she ever opens up about this.
I have mixed feelings too but only because Lee Seunggi was scammed by his own agency for years and didn't find out until recently. Now giving his situation, it makes me wonder if he's an easy target for scammers. Now I'm not necessarily calling his wife a scammer, she could be genuinely in love with him(which i hope she is). BUT, this just seems too suspicious.
@@bohosoul851 of course these are all very valid worries. I guess we just have to have faith in him. Also bearing in mind Seungi has a much better support system than what he had at hook, only people who do actually have his best interests at heart! I am sure that as much as Seungi loves her, he will be weary and keeping his distance from the in laws and I am sure his own parents have probably said the same!
If it took him that long to figure out that Hook Entertainment was scamming him, i doubt he is a very good judge of character. You cant be that dumb and not care about your business or earnings like that...go to work everyday & not even get paid. It's so unbelivable. I'm even skeptical about his new agency or business that he started. He just doesnt sound that bright. I'm afraid for him,that he will realize after its too late😢
Love makes us blind or should I say, Love makes us accept things that had happened and hope for the best....whatever happens, Seung Gi knows that Airen will be always with him no matter what.
That's her parents, not her.Lee Seunggi himself got scammed not too long ago, he would know better if she's not a person to spend the rest of his life with. And you people should stop busy body about celebrities private life.
@@AB-ms1vhtbh more people now are more willing to distance themselves from their parents who are bad or who hurt them than to make excuses for them or suffer in silence so really that is kind of irrelevant nowadays, like honestly who would be happy or proud that their parents scammed people and made them suffer to the point of suicide
Literally! So overboard. He is getting more hate than the actual convicted offender! Before Seungi was in the picture, no one was this outraged. The daughters have been allowed to have decent careers, Dain insta comment section was open and all in all everyone minded their own business. The parents issues started in 2011 and now they want to 'cancel' them?
He's a grown man with plenty of experience with life so I'd imagine the man can make his own opinions and choices with whom he dates. If he's happy being with her then I don't understand why anyone even cares he's not a child who needs "fans" to micro managing his love life.
She is not responsible for her stepfather 's actions. What matters is who she is and how she lives her life. If they're happy together and good to each other, it's none of anyone's business
I understand why his fans don’t support him being with her, even though she wasn’t the one who committed the scam, she has directly benefited from it. But also why would you want to marry into a shady family? That would make me think twice before agreeing to get married.
Maybe cause they love each other? She is not her parents maybe he saw something with her that he really likes and admires. Yes in the future they could get married which means being part of each other's family but the thing is they are marrying each other not their parents. They can have their own life. Just my opinion 😁
@@Kaching8412 👏 👏 👏 Yessss .... Congratulations to the newlyweds. It was a beautiful big wedding,and the moment when he serenaded his bride was so touching.
It's not only about love in this life. I see these married couples who have no love, but they stay together out of respect. True love till last breath is rather exception, not the law
I usually don't care about celebrities dating each other but this time people are right. Lee Da In might not have scammed people but she is living off that money. Also her mother still supports her husband and his company. In fact she calls her family, including her husband the 'victims' of false allegations even after his conviction. Lee Seungi has shown his true colours by associating himself with this family.
Lol you are just riding the hate. Meanwhile Lee Da In’s sister will be doing a drama this year without getting entangled with her family’s problem. You all want to crucify Lee Da In because she got the Lee Seung Gi.
@@annej5550 Koreans hate seeing her sister in tv..Koreans even try to boycott her..but her mother have many connection in entertainment industry like directors and all that’s the reason lee yubi is getting roles not because of her talent..
She is with her parents and living in the same building so don't give bullshit excuse like you can't can't choose your parents .many parents died and many become orphan because of that money which she is using .
@@Shucasm Well my friend an opinion is a opinion and everyone can have one. However it is a fact that she is her own person and cannot control her parents actions or words. You don't think I have empathy? Well, I do for both sides. So stop saying mean things on the internet and express your opinion in a polite way. Imagine if you were in her shoes? Being condemned for something out of your control. Think how upset she feels that her parents hurt and killed people. She is a person as well. Stop being narrow minded and wake up. What if you killed someone and your son was being bullied and harassed for your wrong doings? What if your parents did that and hurt and killed people? You being tortured and harassed everyday? Yes, there are people suffering on the opposite side as well. Loosing a loved one. The mourning, the screaming the crying, the feeling numb. People just want to blame. It's easier to blame. Easier to feel anger. All those feelings are valid. However.... Blaming and harrassing and blaming someone whose literally only connection to this event is her parents. Seems a bit much. Seems unfair. There is no excuse for killing someone. But you need to realise this was not the daughters action, word/s, or anything other than the association with her parents that lead to people loosing their lives.
@@aggold3762 well friend It's not my opinion but a fact she is living in the same house her father build . She is not underage or child she is an adult it's true you can't stop what someone else do but you can control your action so get out of that house and earn money and support herself not be ok with everything perfectly knowing where the money come from if you are silent you have already choose a side and she choose her parents she didn't condenm her father doing ever so that mean she is sided with her father and it's a fact not an opinion.
Honestly I really respected Lee seung gi's post in support of his wife. He said he made a promise and how could he break it over something her parents did. And I respect that. True husband material.
All I hope is that Lee Seunggi is happy and hopefully doesn’t get blinded by the love he feels for her and that he doesn’t get scammed by his girlfriend and family. Good luck
If her behavior isn't like her parents then I think it's amazing that they are married. Honestly we cannot blame the kids for what their parents have done
If they're consenting adults, let them do what they want. The woman in question wasn't a scammer/criminal and her crooked family history doesn't bother her boyfriend. They're adults... it's their decision. You don't get to pick who you fall in love with.
It’s not her fault, what ever the elders do or have done, she’s a whole other person with thoughts and values. There’s a saying in spanish that says “each head is a world”
I think anyone deserves to be happy but there’s a saying that you are the company that you keep. I think it will end up ruining his image because people will never mind their own business it’s sad.
They shouldn't be punished for their families crimes. Serious issue with the confucian roots. In ccp cultural revolution china people were literally disowning family members to throw them under the bus...cause they dont want punished
Lee Seung Gi is literally the most genuine and kind celebrity out there. He routinely donates huge sums of money to charities and as mentioned has never been in a scandal. She may have a shitty family but if he loves her I'm willing to bet it's for a reason. I'm more willing to trust his opinion than random people who've never met her.
You can't help who you carry in your heart everyone deserves to find soulmate but he should keep watch to see if her family would use him, or anyone he cares about like his family. Once people show their true colours he should be careful they could drag him down or use him for scape goat.
Exactly. I don't doubt that Seungi and Dain are sincere to each other, they look so happy together and Dain from the years I have followed her seems sweet. Her parents on the other hand are the whole reason for all these issues and hatred. I don't doubt that people close to him warned him to be wary of them and not get too friendly!
@@laraibahmed3090 Yes we wish them both much happiness and that God keeps them safe from anything that could destroy them, and that they are able to have a normal life together or whom ever they chose, when a person has someone in their family that is capable of doing such evil we pray God protect the innocent in their family and friends . People should not have to pay for the sins of their father, but her family should have to pay for the hurt they have caused. Take care and stay safe
Well, that's no business of us to talk . So according to this theory if a person committed a sin then theirs offspring are not allowed to have good life . Anyway Lee Sueng Gi and lee Dan In is married now . We have not right to interfere in ppl legal relationship .
People have died because of that family and she is living with that family happily and I Don't think that having a hatred towards her is any wrong. She is a part of family ,she deserves to suffer a little at least.
Having a scammer family member doesn't mean she is a scammer too. Or maybe she isn't now, she might changed. So wait and see how the couple behave and wait for any true proof of bad behavior, if not that mean they are normal with a bad family in law for Seungi
Sometimes troubled children come from great parents, parents shouldn't be blamed for everything. In this case, the daughters are not at fault for what the parents did. Let them be happy.
U don’t know the whole story dont you😂.. she is not a good person..she was showing off her luxury bags bought by her mom with the blood money in ig during the time when victims sui***de and whole nation was mourning for their death..if she had a thing called conscience she wouldn’t have done this and would have lay low until matter is cooled down instead of flaunting her riches..just think how would the victims family feels when they see her posts during a tragedy time like this ..Koreans felt so mad annd felt like she was mocking the victims
I think you are right tbh. At least before marrying, you should stand your own ground and stand up to your parents. Like, if she stayed single, i wouldn't blame her, because she still lives with them.. but if she gets her own family, she should first remove herself from any association to that scandal of her parents. And even if it isn't your own fault, it is nice to recognize the issue and openly say how you don't support your parents in this.
If the family really repented, they would have returned the money. Nope. Not a single dime returned but instead this girl flaunt the scammed wealth online.
People have to understand that the parents and the child are different people and SHE did not commit that scandal. Her parents did, and I am sure that she feels bad for it.
U don’t know the whole story dont you😂.. if she feel bad then why would she show off her luxury bags bought by her mom with the blood money in ig during the time when victims sui***de and whole nation was mourning for their death..if she had a thing called conscience she wouldn’t have done thing and would have lay low until matter is cooled down instead of flaunting her riches..
well to make it simple, all are entitled to their.own opinions ... if they want or dont want to support , its up to them as long as they dont come to a point where in they will physically hurt him, its fine ... at the end of the day, we are responsible for our own actions... just do your thing ...
We dont know thwir personal lives and Lee Seung In knew what he was getting into when he decided to daate Da In. Also knew the kind of reaction he would get from the public when deciding to annouce it. So i think we should trust he knows what hes doing and not judge him for his girlfriend's parents actions
It was her parents who were scammers she is a respected actress a very good one too she is not responsible or guilty because her parents broke the law I don't know how people feel in Korea or other parts of Asia but here in America 🇺🇸 we hold each individual responsible for their actions and not place guilt on someone because they are related to a criminal
Why is no one talking about this amazing thing that Seungi has helped accomplish? New Bill for Entertainment Agencies to Show Earnings Transparency and Protect Minor-aged Celebrities Passes National Assembly Subcommittee. He made a promise at the kbs drama awards that he would fight to make sure what happened to him wouldn't happen to his junior and look!
In my opinion, even though Lee da in is a daughter of scammers it doesn't mean that she would be one, Lee da in is Lee da in and she decided to be lee da in (I'm not a good English talker btw, so sorry )
Exactly its like people are forcing her to be involved in smthn she wasnt involved in?? Do they want her to be a scammer?? doesnt matter if its her parents she wasnt involved in the scams (as far as i know) so why are they hating her? theyre clearly projecting and thats just stupid and futil also ur english is perfectly fine i understand
It’s just that he’s also been scammed and financially hurt by his previous employer and I’m scared that something will happen to him again for being so trust worthy. I want him to be happy because he deserves it but I’m also very protective of him because he has a heart of gold
Fans cannot dictate their idols lives. He can marry whomever he wants and nobody can tell him a thing. If his fans are that toxic to tell him what to do or expect him to do whatever they want to keep them happy, they lead a sad life. And the girl isn't responsible for her parents' deeds. We can only own our own mistakes.
Been in entertainment for 17 years and he suffered so much from his old company and ceo. If he his happy with her now... And she ain't like her parents. Then its all good. Wishing bright future n happiness for them.

I don’t know but I definitely don’t wanna see him hurt or heart broken because of her.. i’m more worried for him than being happy bcz when we r blinded by love we make bad choices and when we realise it it’s always too late.. it changes u.. I don’t want him to change
it comes down to trust. We have to trust Seungi knows what's best for him and trust that he has good people around him to support him and who also have his best interests at heart. He is definitely in a better and happier place since he left hook and is with his own agency. He has more control over his life than he has had before. I believe Seungi at his heart is still the same guy. Did you hear how he proposed to her as well? Nothing grand or extravagant, randomly popped the question in the morning (probably over breakfast!). She laughed and said 'thats all?' and then they carried on with their day. I am genuinely rooting for them because Seungi seems happy with her and I don't want to see him lose his smile.
As a huge lee seung gi fan, I'm just glad he finally found someone he truly loves. I just hope tho that the company should meet its end if it's still scamming people and I do hope his wife is indeed much different than her parents (cuz I have no idea who she is tbh :'D) but I am all here to support their decision and he's not to blame just bcuz his new in laws are questionable.
Idk like LSG got scammed for 17 years by his company, of course it's not his fault but seems like a person without self awareness but if he's happy with her, then good for him
