When actor Lee Jong Suk recently posted a statement on Instagram, people assumed that he was making a comment about his relationship rumors with actress Park Shin Hye. The “Pinocchio” co-stars were rumored to be in a relationship, following several sightings of them together, but both stars’ agencies have denied that they are romantically involved.
“Distressingly, things that I’m not even aware of keep happening,” Lee Jong Suk posted on Instagram.
But the Korean media outlet Korea Times revealed on July 24 that his statement had nothing to do with the relationship rumors but referred to the theft of his personal seal. According to this agency, Wellmade, a man stole the 26-year-old actor’s personal seal.
In Korea, a personal seal or stamp is used as identification and to sign documents. A man, identified as Cho, somehow obtained Lee Jong Suk’s seal. He used the seal to get an exclusive management contract and lure investors into giving him large amounts of money. He then created fake bank accounts in Lee Jong Suk’s name. The theft was reported to the police and a suspect was apprehended.
Wellmade released an official statement to clarify the situation. This is the gist of their official statement, which was published in several newspapers, including The Korea Herald.
“We would like to make a statement about the news of Lee Jong Suk’s identity theft.
As Lee Jong Suk’s management agency, we have confirmed that the perpetrator used Lee Jong Suk’s personal information and forged documents, gathering investors with hundreds of millions of won. As soon as we realized this, we filed a case with the police against the perpetrator for forgery of documents and fraud, and he was arrested on July 22. We plan to follow through with this case to the end without showing leniency.
We hope that something like this will not happen to any other celebrities.”
The model-turned-actor and his agency are planning to take legal action against those involved.
Lee Jong Suk is an actor best known for his appearances in the dramas “School 2013,” “I Hear Your Voice,” “Doctor Stranger” and “Pinocchio.”
Actor Lee Jong-suk recently lodged a complaint against a person who allegedly counterfeited his legal seal to draw up a forged contract and open a bank account under his name.
“The suspect has been apprehended,” Well-made Yedang Co., Ltd., Lee’s agency, said Friday via its official press release, adding, “We have discovered he surreptitiously used the actor’s private seal and issued fabricated documents to sign contracts with various companies, to make a profit of hundreds of thousands of won.”
In response, Lee filed a criminal suit, with the suspect captured by police July 22. The company also highlighted that it would “not put up with the illicit use and fraud, and thus would deal with the issue squarely.”
Lee has become an international Hallyu star, following the appearance on TV hit “Pinocchio,” which ran from last November to January.
If you’ve been keeping up, you may remember that Lee Jong Sukrecently
spoke out on Instagram stating, “Distressingly, things that I’m not even aware of keep happening.”
It was presumed that the actor was referring to his dating rumors with Park Shin Hye, but with the latest information revealed, it seems that he had been referring to something else going on.
His agency Wellmade Yedang revealed that Lee Jong Suk had recently been a victim of identity theft. His personal information had been stolen and his personal seal or stamp, often used to authorize documents in Korea, had been faked by someone in a case of fraud. The perpetrator is actually said to be someone well connected in the entertainment field, and this person faked Lee Jong Suk’s personal stamp to draft up an exclusive management contract. In addition he was even able to start fake bank accounts under Lee Jong Suk’s name.
The actor recently learned of this and has reported the perpetrator to the police. His agency commented, “We have learned that the perpetrator used the actor’s personal information to create a fake contract, as well as brought in investments using the actor’s name. Once we learned of this, we immediately reported this to the police, and the perpetrator is being held at the police station.”
The agency has revealed that they will be pursuing strong legal action to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again to just Lee Jong Suk, but to other celebrities as well.
