Lee Ji Hoon’s agency has confirmed that he is the actor who was reported to the police by his wife for alleged domestic violence.
According to the police, they received a phone call on the afternoon of July 24 claiming that Lee Ji Hoon had assaulted his wife at their home in Bucheon. During an argument with his wife, the actor reportedly tried to leave his house, and his wife attempted to stop him, leading to a physical fight.
Although the police began investigating Lee Ji Hoon on the allegations of assault, his wife did not wish to press charges, so the incident was classified as a domestic violence case rather than a criminal one. Additionally, based on witness testimony and the fact that the accuser did not want Lee Ji Hoon to be prosecuted, the police intends to close the case soon.
On August 14, Lee Ji Hoon’s agency Y.ONE Entertainment responded to reports about the incident in which he was referred to as “40-something actor ‘A’” by confirming that Lee Ji Hoon was the actor in question. However, the agency stated that while it was true that Lee Ji Hoon’s wife had called the police on him during an argument, there had been no assault during the incident.
The agency’s full statement is as follows:
Hello. This is Y.ONE Entertainment.
It’s true that the “40-something actor ‘A’” in today’s reports is our actor Lee Ji Hoon.
During a marital argument, the police arrived on the scene due to a report by his wife, but they determined based on testimony at the scene that it was not a serious incident. There was no assault, and his wife has clearly stated that she does not wish to press charges, so the case is currently in the process of being closed.”
We deeply apologize for giving you cause for concern through this matter, and both Lee Ji Hoon and his wife are reflecting on the incident.
Thank you.
