The wedding of actor Lim Sung-eun (41) took place amidst lavish blessings, but a week later, reports emerged that the groom, Lee Chang-seob (55), is a person with prior convictions for real estate fraud and that he inflicted damages amounting to hundreds of billions of won on members.
Lim Sung-eun and Lee Chang-seob were married on the 17th at the JW Marriott Hotel in Gangnam. The event was hosted by Lee Teuk and Byeon Ki-soo, and prominent figures including former Prime Minister Jeong Se-kyun and Joo Ho-young, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly, sent congratulatory wreaths, drawing attention.
However, according to a report from Dispatch, just before the wedding, a comment stating, "It’s a luxurious wedding funded by the members’ money" was posted on the mobile invitation, igniting controversy.
Lee Chang-seob is the chairman of Seokjeong Urban Development, involved in real estate projects in six areas nationwide. However, most of the projects are either halted or embroiled in legal disputes, with damages estimated to exceed at least 20 billion won.
Dispatch also claimed that Lee Chang-seob indicated his intention to use the marriage as a "shield" in a phone call with creditors before the wedding, mentioning, "Sung-eun's family lives well," and that he holds prior convictions for real estate fraud and is under a travel ban.
Meanwhile, Lim Sung-eun began her career in the entertainment industry in 2001 after appearing in the Japanese drama "Dancing the Great Seoul Line." Notably, she captured the hearts of male stars with her dimpled smile on the KBS entertainment show "Mountain Lodge Meeting - War of Roses." She later appeared in dramas such as "Yeon Gae Somun," "White Tower," "Cheongdam-dong Scandal," "Spring Night," and "Brain Cooperation," as well as the films "Girl X Girl" and "Moui." Recently, she has demonstrated her consistent passion for acting by actively participating in the play "Pink Lipstick."
The side of Lim Sung-eun is currently verifying the accurate facts.
