The Controversial Life of Lee Seung Gi

[@MerlitaUlgasan]

Sad to know that a talented man who went through abuses from his former company, and went on to fight not only for his right but also for many artists, especially for those still starting from the beginning stages be judged for all the media, fans and people with the things he do privately, professional or work. How everything he has done up until said scandals be thrown to the ground as if it doesn't matter or doesn't count at all. Everyone who isn't in the spotlight of being judged like him just keep on throwing stones like they don't make mistakes as human. He may be an artist or an actor that has responsibility along with it but that doesn't give us the right to direct all of his life. Let him do his job, be an artist, let him be human, let him live and breathe.

[@roselynho7038]

Yes!👍

[@starlight14673]

imagine when normal ppl are judged so hard and are abused nowadays random ppl then celebs are abused twice a lot if there are 5 good comments then there will be 40 bad comments thats how world has become it always was but we didnt improve yet did we...?

[@RMay508]

Why is his life so controversial? He is just living his life. The public needs to leave these artists alone. They are human like anyone of us and it is sad how Koreans think they have the right to talk about these people like they have no feelings. How dare you people? He is such a talented guy, both as an actor and singer. His voice is just beautiful. What has his personal relationship have to do with the public?

[@rani-pj5me]

His life isn’t controversial. His wife’s family drags him down.

[@gomomma6649]

His voice is very beautiful. There are very few pop singers with the quality of voice that he has.

[@sheilagibson982]

I totally agree, leave him alone.

[@TheKPOPstan360]

I was seriously pissed off when people started showing hate on him after the SIGNAL SONG MISSION on STARLIGHT BOYS. People please use your brains while watching such reality shows, because this round and such things are written by the Writers and Show Directors and not Seungi. Judges don’t have the authority to change the script written for each mission. If anyone wants to blame that Signal Song round, blame the show director and not him. He stepped up to encourage the contestants and not that he made them do it🙁

[@DonnaBernauer]

One of my favorite actors, I hope he lives his life well and has a happy marriage.

[@charlenemunoz974]

I love Lee Seung Gi and he is undeniably talented. I've watched many of his reality shows especially 2 days and 1 night and Master in the House, he's so adorable and in everything he does it shows the he is a good person. He may have some decisions at present that some of his fans were not in favor of but that is his personal life and it's for him to decide and he's still human, sometimes he may commit mistakes just like us.

[@anitarichardson9457]

What he done in his private life it his business the Fans need to leave him alone the medias and public specially the fans hav no right to interference he is artist he job is to entertainment for peoples to enjoy me for one of his fan love his drama and his music but other then that what his do in his private life it none of my business I support him what ever make his happy that what the fans should do My wishes for him and his family happiness together for ever and ever

[@rossjackie8805]

I love lee seung gi. I think he is an amazingly talented artist. I am thankful for the amazing dramas he has been in. His personal life has nothing to do with his fans, unless he does anything illegal or immoral - it’s not our business.

[@ravishkasilva2851]

If this was an another actor or idol he would have broken up publicly but he doesn’t give up on like that he always stood up for what he believes. I really like him because of that.

[@Vedha.]

honestly...to me that segment that people are calling "harsh or like torture" in starlight boys is just a tough cardio routine done once every week by people like me (its extemely tough at first but quite a fun routine once one get used to it) ....they are not used to these sessions so obviously people who are not into these routines will feel hard to comprehend these tasks and make controvorsial statements over this. extreme cardio routines feels like "torture" to everyone at first untill one get used to it...also not everyone can do it..permanent damage without proper knowledge or exprerience is REAL.

[@zandyyoung3345]

MY GOD!!!!!!!!! WHY CONTROVERSY? IT´S HIS LIFE. THESE FANS CHEER FOR THEIR ACTORS TO DATE, THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE WEDDING AND THEY GET MARRIED THEY BECOME A SCANDAL. MY GOD, WHAT DOES HIS LIFE HAVE TO DO WITH FANS? NO ONE NEEDS TO LIKE YOUR CHOICE, BUT INFERNIZING, BOTHERING, TRYING TO DESTROY IS A FREAK. RESPECT THE CHOICE OF LEE SEUNG GI, LEAVE HIM ALONE. STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE FOT HIM. IGNORE EVERYTHING THAT COMES FROM MEAN COMMENTS, THEY COME FROM THE UNFORTUNATE.

[@Melissa-of1ku]

People should be able to have the wedding they want. Other people have no business telling them what to do and value. They are entertainers and artists by trade, so it’s unrealistic to expect them to be perfect role models.

[@imdino_fit8358]

When he got married, i was like meh, its fine. He fell in love with his wife so be it. When he become mentor to starlight boys tho. I hate him. I hate how he gaslights the kids to the point they are at the brink of exhaustion with excuse 'idols should trained hard'. He is not even an idol, he is an actor and singer. Can he even dance for 10 minutes straight without fainting?😒

[@Elena-h1y8k]

As far as I'm aware he can't dance. At all.

[@AustrianHanJisung]

He can’t dance 10 minutes, let alone AN HOUR of continuous dancing

[@sgsairl1706]

He was trained to be one, for two years before his debut, not exactly "idol" idol, but that star idol. He just has stiff/clumsy body that people around him just told him to give up and ended up being a singer. People always made a joke of his dance in shows, maybe a joke for them, but I'm sure he's hurt too by those comments even though he trained so hard. He was known as practice bug, whenever he have a dance performance, he trained all days because he knows he's suck at it. He knows how hard is idol training and life, he also got crazy hectic schedule while being pressed and manipulated by his management. I agree he was harsh and easily annoying in the show, but the "he's not even an idol" doesn't work here. Not able to do something doesn't mean he can't have opinion on it. He was one of celebs that had crazy schedule and pressure for years. He's a judge in the show, so that was probably why he said all those things. The one annoying judge. But usually when he was MC, where he didn't have to give any "mark" to the contestants, he actually known as super supportive to them.

[@Vedha.]

hate him !!???😅 u dont even care abt him or any judge in the show to begin with...u all are just simping hard for the guys in the show. i'm quite sure the contestants will hate ur opinions.

Just leave him alone, he has been through enough.

[@lynnewebb4573]

What a load of nonsense! What has he done that's so wrong? People should leave him alone and let him get on with his life.

[@sheilagibson982]

I totally agree!

[@bgirl928]

The press and “fans” need to stop this nonsense!!! What they do off screen or stage is NO ONES business

[@naneun_kp]

There is no controversy in his life of his doing. It's the problem of his in-laws which occurred way before his marriage are being projected on him. He has a great career and a great life. People wanted him to leave her because of her parents. What kind of a man will do that. His mistake is only to stay by his love and sincerity. I hope people realise that he has always been a good and big hearted person. Always living with dignity and good influence wherever he goes. This Starlight Boys controversy is just manufactured to create the buzz of the show. He became the scapegoat, for telling the truth.

[@PhillypaGrl]

Controversial? Why? Because he married a beautiful woman that weirdo "fans" hate. Lol get a life..

[@ainulashikin1567]

they hate her family due to her family scandals

[@Lupita311]

[@changos1.]

I think you tube people perpetuate these small details til they become extremely judgmental...stop doing this

[@shana6093]

People need to mind their own business ffs!! His life is not controversial, he’s a hardworking human who cares about his juniors and seniors equally, he’s the most respectful celebrity in south korea and whoever believes this sort of bullshit lacks braincells because the media is looking for click-baits and stupid people look for dramas without understanding any concepts. His role in starlight boys is being criticized because the trainees fans have no sense of knowing what it’s like to try and be successful which needs hardwork and dedication, the poor Seung-gi only reminded them of that. SO GROW UP AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEW HATE.

[@parriah8083]

This is why everyone is abandoning marriage in Korea, all idols and celebrities are demonized the moment they get into a relationship. If the people who are role models and what many young people aspire to be like can’t have adult relationships and a personal connection with anyone then other people aren’t seeing it as worthwhile or even safe either

[@suan333]

Nah, it's because of the cheating culture and because people don't want to have kids 😂

[@phoenixfeather1199]

I support him in EVERYTHING he does. His life , his decisions. Stay the heck out of his business.

[@viva4335]

They found a new “victim” now …OH STOP THIS..LEAVE HIM ALONE..it’s his life ..u have no business in his business..so stfp

[@ShelleyM007]

I know practically nothing about the show, so can’t comment. However, his love “ scandal” is another story. His choice of romantic partner is no-one’s business but his. The backlash from certain toxic members of the public is unwarranted dredged up old news. It’s not like they committed the fraud. Like millions of others, she followed the global trend of presenting a shiny luxurious image on social media. So, what? Oh-they dared have a lavish wedding! So, what? Must this couple wear a hair-shirt forever because of her parents’ misdeeds? Seems to me that green be some people’s permanent choice of colour! We don’t own entertainers. An entertainer’s love life should be off limits for public criticism. It happens repeatedly and has to stop. Look what happened to Seunghan of Riize, too.

[@cdgross5480]

I'm seeing this in my drop-down. My heart is broken for his family. My son died in 2016. There are no words. My condolences to the family of this beautiful young man. Respectfully saying, We can trust Jehovah God and his promises about a hopeful future on our beautiful earth. 🌍

[@amlsg]

Lee Seung Gi's blindly inlove that's a fact and and we know it. But he also know that were just protecting him even if he doesnt feel like he need it. Whatever happen, still i will support Seung Gi as an artist, a family man and a father but not as the other half of Da In. Seung Gi has his own personal view for his fan to not mock his inlaws family, but he cannot stop us fans also not to do so as this tarnish his well loved reputation. All we wish rn is for Seung Gi to build his own family happily and gracefully away from the chaos of his inlaws problematic history.

[@naneun_kp]

He has nothing to do with his in-laws business. Let the law take care of them. I think he needs to answer only about his own actions. He is anything but a genuine, sincere and hardworking person, all his life. His mistake was just to protect his love and not succumb under pressure of toxic society

[@7Khaneul]

these fans take it way too far. why should they care who he dates or marries? whatever we hear about people in social media is just pure garbage. we do not know these people personally.

[@sirenscall-x5f]

genuinely dont care for him lmao but its so funny that the public was angry at two rich actors for having a huge wedding like. what would you do if you had all that money? be for real now

[@naneun_kp]

Stfu he did nothing. Please talk to the show creators. What he said was truth . The survival show is not a place to change the industry. Here, their task is to create a well rounded idol group who are ready both physically and mentally. Half cooked trainee ended being idol later commit suicide because they fail to cope up with pressure and hardwork. Industry has definitely changed but nothing happens in a day. It's better to make aware trainee what they are going for, then offering fake sympathy and tearful consolidation.

[@Lupita311]

Those shows are scripted. Reality tv is not real.

[@naneun_kp]

Well everyone loves their parents if they are good to us. It's her family and it's easier said then done, to just abandon them. It's for the law to punish them. Asking a daughter to hate her parents is stupid in my pov. Starlight Boy is a scripted show as we know final results are totally going to based on votes. The task was nothing inhumane and it's trainee fans who by showing edited reels made it something impossible. It all to get sympathy votes.

[@naneun_kp]

Stop your bs.. he is one of the most genuine celebrity and always had a big heart. Getting married to a women whom you love without caring about her past or family background is best a man can do to show how strong his character and heart is. Don't know about you, but for me it only make him more appreciated. He is neither involved in those cases nor has any business ties with those people. It's SK law that has to take care of them. Seunggi is just living honestly working hard as always with his own family -wife and daughter. He has always been a generous,kind and non judgemental person. That's why he didn't feel is right to break up with his girl under society and some fan's pressure. Those well wishers advised him because they thought it will hurt his career. But can you imagine the strength of his character and believe in himself that he still went ahead just to protect his love.

Get lost. He married for love and chose to stand by his love. I don't know how many men are brave enough to do that leave aside celebrity. He has never done anything wrong in his whole life. All his money is earned through hardwork and now he has created his own family which has nothing to do with his in-laws buisness. I don't know why a progressive society judges children based on their parents. A hero in a drama who does this for a heroine is celebrated but in real life such men are criticised. Hypocrisy of society and some fans.
