Netizens highlighted that with Lee Seung Gi's popularity and fan base, most of the comments were criticisms of his future wife and disappointment from fans.
The announcement of Lee Seung Gi's marriage to Lee Da In drew mixed reactions after fans expressed their disappointment at the actor's decision. Even according to netizens, the singer and actor born in 1987 chose the wrong wife.
Lee Seung Gi ended January by announcing that he would marry Lee Da In. However, although some fans sent congratulatory messages and mentioned how excited they were to see the couple getting married, others expressed negative feelings towards Lee Seung Gi's wedding announcement.
According to Wikitree, netizens mentioned how Lee Seung Gi received little congratulation after announcing the marriage. In addition, others also highlighted that with the "Vagabond" star's popularity and fan base, most of the comments were actually criticism of his future wife and disappointment from fans. Finally, netizens also lamented that even an actor with "the most honest image in Korea fell into the abyss by choosing the wrong partner."
After the engagement and marriage announcement, issues regarding Lee Da In's family background resurfaced. Some fans opposed the couple's relationship after learning that Lee Da In's stepfather, business tycoon Lee Hong Heon, was jailed for three years for manipulating stock prices.
With this, others believe that Lee Seung Gi's relationship with Lee Da In's family will tarnish his "clean image". Throughout his career, the actor has never been involved in any controversy apart from his recent dispute with his former agency, Hook Entertainment.
Because of this scandal-free image of Lee Seung Gi, he is so loved by fans that he confirmed his relationship with Lee Da In. At that time, his fan base, Lee Seung Gi Gallery, which is also his biggest fan club, sent a coffee truck to his filming location, along with an LED message that read "Are you willing to sacrifice your 17-year-old career?"
One sentence also said that fans have protected Lee Seung Gi's image for the past 17 years and it was time for him to protect Airens (his fandom name) by making a "quick decision". Amidst the rumors surrounding his upcoming marriage, Lee Seung Gi will return to the big screen with the movie "About Family". (wk/goddess)
