Now that he has achieved success in rising to the top of the entertainment industry, he has begun to dream a new dream of raising a happy family. This is the story of top stars Song Joong-ki and Lee Seung-gi. These are two people who actively go out of their way to protect their love without being conscious of the gaze of those around them.
Song Joong-ki and his wife Katie announced that they completed their marriage registration on January 30th. He said, "I have pledged to spend the rest of my life with Katie Lewis Saunders, who has been by my side, supporting me, caring for each other, and spending precious time together." “Naturally, we dreamed of creating a happy family together. We have put in a lot of effort to keep our promises to each other, and with sincere gratitude, we have found a precious life together,” they also announced the pregnancy news. He also added, “Like now, we will walk beautifully together in the days ahead, looking in the same direction.”
Song Joong-ki was scheduled to leave Hungary for filming the movie 'Ro Ki-wan'. Although he had to leave the country behind his pregnant wife, Katie, Song Joong-ki showed off his true love. On the afternoon of the 16th, Katie and I departed together through Incheon International Airport Passenger Terminal 2 in Incheon. Song Joong-ki and Katy, who matched their dress code to black, passed through the airport lobby and entered the arrival hall together. Pregnant Katie was holding Song Joong-ki's pet dog, Nala, in her arms. A large diamond wedding ring was worn on the fourth finger, attracting attention.
Is it because he went through a divorce with Song Hye-kyo once? Since Song Joong-ki is remarried, he was seen pampering Katie even more. It is known that they are enjoying newlywed life at their Itaewon home by inviting Katie's parents, and recently, they enjoyed a movie date with Katie, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law at a movie theater in Sangseom-dong, Seoul.
Lee Seung-gi and Lee Da-in, whom he has been in a public relationship with, will get married on April 7th. Lee Seung-gi shared this fact with his fans by personally releasing a handwritten letter. Lee Seung-gi made a surprise announcement, saying, “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.” Lee Seung-gi expressed his affection for Lee Da-in, saying, "She is a warm-hearted and loving person who I want to have by my side forever." He also asked for blessings, saying, "I want to share joy together and overcome trials without letting go of my hand even if there are difficult times in life."
On the 15th, Lee Seung-gi made his first official appearance since announcing his marriage through the production presentation of JTBC's 'Peak Time', for which he served as MC. Lee Seung-gi said in a trembling voice, "I have made the biggest decision of my life and will get married with Lee Da-in on April 7th. I am grateful for the congratulations from many people, and I am spending happy days because my fellow officials are looking at me with warm eyes." . He continued, "I am preparing to fulfill my responsibilities as the head of the family and start working as an MC and working on projects as I always do as an entertainer. I will prepare a lot and show you things slowly one by one, so please look at me with warm eyes."
The reason Lee Seung-gi's marriage became an issue is because of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. His father-in-law Lee Hong-heon and his mother-in-law, actor Gyeon Mi-ri, were involved in a stock price manipulation case in 2016. It has been reported that more than 300,000 people have been victims of the Kyun Miri couple's stock price manipulation. This is the reason why fans are concerned and worried. In relation to this, Kyun Mi-ri said through her legal representative on the 17th, "The Lubo stock price manipulation case, which is said to have had more than 300,000 victims and even committed suicide, has nothing to do with Kyun Mi-ri and Kyun Mi-ri's husband," and added, "The Kyun Mi-ri couple is the suspect in the multi-level fraud case." “He is clearly a victim and is not related to the Lubo stock price manipulation incident carried out by JU officials,” he said. Gyeon Mi-ri's side emphasized, "For the sake of Kyun Mi-ri's family and Lee Seung-gi, who becomes a new family member, we will no longer condone this, and we will take strict action to correct any factual differences until the end."
Song Joong-ki and Lee Seung-gi did not care about protecting their love despite various difficulties and attention. The public is hoping that the loving new groom will enjoy the second chapter of his life with his partner.
