Kyun Mi Ri, who’ll be welcoming Lee Seung Gi as her son-in-law in April, sat down for an interview with The Fact with her lawyer to “correct the distorted rumors.”
On the 17th, The Fact released an interview with Kyun Mi Ri, who claimed, “It’s too painful for me that this is not only affecting my daughters but also Lee Seung Gi, who’ll become a new member of my family.”
Kyun Mi Ri’s husband A is facing a Supreme Court ruling on charges of inflating the stock price of Bota Bio, a KOSDAQ-listed company of which Kyun Mi Ri is a major shareholder, and then selling the stocks he received through a paid-in capital increase, making a profit of 2.3 billion won (about $1.8 million). A was found guilty on the first trial and not guilty on the second.
Regarding the scam, the actress claimed, “It’s said that I made a profit through false disclosure , but I’ve never spent the money on myself or my family. At the time, minority shareholders of Corebit filed a civil suit against my husband, who was running the company, for losses due to accounting fraud, but was found not guilty.”
Kyun Mi Ri also mentioned the famous JU case, a pyramid scheme with 110,000 victims and the damage reaching up to 2 trillion won (about $1.5 billion), that she is involved in. “There are lots of distorted rumors about it,” she commented. “I did not receive the payment for the cosmetics I delivered, and I participated in the event, hoping that I’d get my money back. But I’m also a victim.”
She also opened up about living an affluent life in a luxury villa in Hannam-dong with her two daughters Lee Yu Bi and Lee Da In. “I earned that money myself,” the actress explained. “I do admit that we were careless in sharing the posts on social media.” In the past, Lee Da In shared a photo of “the living room of my room” on Instagram, coming heavily under fire for flaunting her rich life when there were victims of her parents’ case who committed suicide.
Lastly, Kyun Mi Ri welcomed Lee Seung Gi to her family, saying, “No one can stop the love between a man and a woman. All parents want the best for their children.” She continued, “I’m grateful that I’ll be getting a kind and upright man as my son-in-law. Lee Seung Gi is a very brave man with so much consideration, generosity, and hopeful energy.”
