Actor Lim Sung-eon is embroiled in controversy just 10 days after his marriage, as reports of his husband’s large-scale fraud have surfaced. Mr. Lee Chang-seop is facing investigation and trial for allegedly swindling hundreds of billions of won from members of a ‘local housing cooperatIVE’ scheme. The amount of damages is estimated to be at least 200 billion won, and Mr. Lee has a criminal record with three prior convictions. Even before the marriage, online comments from victims expressing grievances were posted on the wedding invitation, and on the day of the wedding, Lee Chang-seop was caught on camera nervously checking his phone repeatedly. Recorded phone conversations left by Lee Chang-seop to creditors have been made public, and he is currently facing legal responsibility for charges of fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation, as well as concealment of assets and obstruction of business. He is also prohibited from leaving the country. Lim Sung-eon’s side stated that they were first made aware of the situation through news reports and are currently in the process of verifying the facts, without providing further comments. The wedding took place at the JW Marriott Hotel in Gangnam, with MC Ding Dong and Yoo Byung-jae hosting the event. The congratulatory flower wreaths from prominent figures such as former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun and Governor Kim Dong-yeon also drew attention. Further investigation and analysis are needed to assess the potential impact on the K-POP and Hallyu market, as well as to anticipate future scenarios and prospects.
