Korean actor Lee Seung -gi has addressed his rumor break-up with actress Lee Da-in.
The two stars were revealed to be dating in May 2021. Rumors of their relationship ending circulated online earlier this year.
On June 5, Lee Seung-gi personally denied the news and addressed the rumors through his official website, which only his fan club members could read.
Read his statement below, as reported by other Korean entertainment websites:
"I think our (Lee Seung Gi and the fans) past year has been one where we hurt each other and lacked communication, so after much consideration, I am finally opening up.
"The first reason why I didn't talk much in the midst of all the common was because I believed that my thoughts would not be clearly conveyed with emotional words. I thought by doing that, there would only be greater misunderstandings and wounds. Secondly, I feared that what we talked about would be leaked to other outlets or distorted into more rumors, which would hurt more people and be used as further gossip. So I hope you understand why I've been silent, despite some of you asking me to clarify my position.
"There have been no changes in my stance or affairs since last year's dating news. I didn't comment further on that part, and I didn't feel much need for it. I'm sorry if you were upset about this, and I want to comfort all of you. Please blame me for my flaws, and I ask for your understanding."
Lee Seung-gi is an actor and singer, best known for his dramas A Korean Odyssey, Vagabond, My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho, and The King Two Hearts. Lee Da-in, on the other hand, has starred in dramas such as Hwarang and Alice among others.
