Last month, Lee Seung-gi announced his decision to sever ties with his in-laws due to their involvement in stock manipulation allegations. He stated, "Despite a fine being imposed in the retrial for the ongoing illegal activities of my father-in-law, similar illegal acts have led to further prosecution. This incident has irreparably damaged the trust within our family, and after much consideration, my wife and I have decided to cut ties with her family."

'Immortal Songs' airs every Saturday at 6:05 PM on KBS 2TV.
