Former BIGBANG member SEUNGRI (36, legal name Lee Seung-hyun) is set to become a father in January next year.
On October 28, Ilgan Sports quoted SEUNGRI in a report stating that his non-celebrity wife is currently pregnant and due to give birth early next year.
SEUNGRI's side stated, "My wife and I are legally a married couple, of course, and the claim that 'we got married because she was pregnant' is not true." They added, "We are not considering a wedding ceremony at this time." The couple is currently focusing on prenatal care. SEUNGRI's wife is known to be a non-celebrity in her 20s.
In August, SEUNGRI was sued on allegations of threatening and assaulting another customer at a restaurant in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In a statement released on October 23, attorney Yoon Jae-bin of the law firm Surim, who represents SEUNGRI, denied the allegations, stating, "It is true that he picked up a soju bottle, but he never swung or struck anyone with it," adding that he would faithfully participate in the investigation.
