Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in's desperate love

Lee Seung-gi, who has been in a public relationship with Lee Da-in since 2021, is getting married. Lee Seung-gi, who lived as a beloved singer, actor, and broadcaster, begins the second chapter of his life as the husband of a woman.

On the 7th, Lee Seung-gi directly announced the news of his marriage. In a handwritten letter that he personally released, he said, "I have decided to spend the rest of our lives together with Lee Da-in, whom I love, as a 'couple' rather than a lover." He continued, "I proposed and received approval. We will be getting married on April 7th. “I have someone to take responsibility for for the rest of my life, so I wanted to share this news directly with you all with a happy heart,” he confessed.

Lee Seung-gi said of his future wife Lee Da-in, "She is a warm-hearted and loving person who I want to keep by my side forever." He added, "I want to share joy with her and overcome hardships without letting go of her hand even if there are hardships in life." “I hope you support people’s future, and I will continue to share more and live happily,” he pledged.

However, their relationship was not smooth from the start. Immediately after their relationship became known, some of Lee Seung-gi's fans staged a truck protest in front of his home, and in August of the same year, unexpected rumors of a breakup emerged.

Lee Seung-gi, who had remained silent since then, said on his official website in June of last year, "Since there has been no change in my position or personal life since the dating rumor last year, I did not make any additional comments on that matter and did not feel the need to do so. “I’m sorry if there was something disappointing about this part, and I want to console you, and I hope you can forgive me for my shortcomings and understand leniently,” he said, confirming that there is nothing wrong with Lee Da-in and his affectionate relationship.

In the second half of last year, Lee Seung-gi went through a dispute with his agency, Hook Entertainment. Rumors arose over allegations such as Lee Seung-gi's unsettled music revenue and CEO Kwon Jin-young's misuse of corporate credit cards. In response, CEO Kwon Jin-young expressed his position, saying, “We will resolve the conflict with Lee Seung-gi by disposing of his personal assets.”

As the conflict over music settlement, the controversy over Hook CEO Kwon Jin-young's verbal abuse, and the suspicion of corporate credit card misuse were added, Lee Seung-gi sent a notice to terminate his exclusive contract and began taking steps to end their 18-year relationship.

The strong love between the two became stronger due to controversies such as disputes with the agency and protests by fans. Last November, she attended an acquaintance's first birthday party together, leading to speculation that marriage was imminent. It was a series of difficult events for Lee Seung-gi, and Lee Da-in endured countless negative comments and even took a break from acting, but she could not stop their love.

Now Lee Da-in becomes Lee Seung-gi's daughter-in-law. Having officially made a comeback as an actor, she plans to be very busy both as a wife and as an actor for the time being.
