Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In’s wedding is under fire for various reasons.
On April 7th, Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In officially tied the knot. While the wedding was supposed to be a happy day for the couple, in reality, it attracted negative reactions from netizens for various reasons, starting from before to the actual wedding day.
Just last year, Lee Seung Gi was in a lengthy legal dispute with his longtime agency, Hook Entertainment, and received much support from the audience. They deeply sympathized for the actor, and were strongly against the glaring mistreatment toward him. However, when the wedding was announced, fans could not help but feel an unsettling feeling toward the bride’s family.
All members of her family, including her mother, stepfather, biological father to her sister, all of which have been caught in some kind of scandals, or even illegal activities, such as stock manipulation or insider trading. At that time, fans expressed their disapproval of the marriage. They voiced their opinion by parking a vehicle carrying the message of protest in Lee Seung Gi’s neighborhood.

There were also many contradictions at the wedding. Prior to the ceremony, Lee Seung Gi and Lee Da In announced that the ceremony would be held behind closed doors. However, on the actual day, the time and date of the wedding was made public, and the press was allowed to take photos one hour and a half before the main ceremony.

While the guests were willing to take photos, the sudden change in attitude showed a contradiction in the organization itself. Furthermore, before the wedding, Yoo Jae Suk asked the guests not to share photos of the wedding online. However, as the wedding proceeded, fans were given with news and updates almost every minute. While the wedding was supposed to be held in private, the actual proceeding showed that was not very much the case.
Strict protocols were almost ignored entirely
