Soccer player-turned-broadcaster Lee Dong-guk and his wife announced legal action against the accusation of attempted fraud by the director of an obstetrics and gynecology department, calling it “groundless.”Lee Dong-guk’s agency, Saesang Entertainment, issued a statement on the 21st, saying, “We are preparing legal action against Mr. Kim, who deceives the public with false facts, for defamation and false accusation.”Mr. Kim, the director of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, recently filed a police complaint against Lee Dong-guk and his spouse, Lee Su-jin, on charges of attempted fraud.Lee Dong-guk and his wife gave birth to two children in 2013 and 2014 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic A, run by Mr. Kwak.After the couple gave birth, Mr. Kim took over the business rights of A Obstetrics and Gynecology from Mr. Kwak.

Lee Dong-guk and his wife later found out late that Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic A had been using the two people’s photos without permission, and applied to the court for mediation against Mr. Kim in October last year, demanding 1.2 billion won in modeling fees.However, the application was dismissed because Lee Dong-guk and his wife did not continue mediation.Regarding this, Mr. Kim claims that this is an attempted fraud, saying that Lee Dong-guk and his wife, who are close friends with Mr. Kwak, filed a lawsuit on behalf of Mr. Kwak to put pressure on him.Mr. Kim is in a legal battle with Mr. Kwak.Lee Dong-guk’s agency responded to Mr. Kim’s claims by saying, “The reason we stopped applying for mediation was because we judged that it was no longer meaningful because Mr. Kim applied for personal rehabilitation,” and that “it is groundless to 토토 say that we applied for mediation to pressure Mr. Kim.”
