Son Dam-bi's marriage news is more criticized than cheering, why?. Lee Kyou-hyuk reexamines sex scandal
Singer and actor Son Dam-bi is about to marry Lee Kyou-hyuk, Gangneung Oval director, in May, and online criticism is continuing rather than celebrating their marriage.
Son Dam-bi announced on the 25th that he promised to marry Lee Kyou-hyuk in May by releasing his handwritten letter through SNS.
"I have someone who wants to live with me," he said. "I am so grateful to our fans who always support me since my debut. I really appreciate it," he said.
As Son Dam-bi's marriage was reported, criticism was poured into the online community and SNS, especially in the past, which was mentioned a lot in Lee Kyou-hyuk's controversy. The most mentioned is the sex scandal that occurred in the Obihiro Speed Skating World Cup in Japan in December 1994.
The coach, who was a high school player at the time, was drunk at a party held after the World Cup and reportedly acted unsavoryly to a Japanese female college student. The ice skating federation said it had grasped the case five months later but did not discipline it. The case was unknown for 20 years before he was known to the public during his appointment as director of the Sports Toto Ice Club in 2015.
In addition, the director was also involved in the "Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil Gate" that occurred between 2016 and 2017. Lee, who was the managing director of the Korea Winter Sports Gifted and Talented Center, was investigated by the prosecution for allegedly serving as a relay and reviewer between Jang Si-ho and Choi Seo-won (formerly renamed Choi Soon-sil). Since then, the director has put down the managerial position of the Sports Toto Ice Skating Team in a series of controversies and operates a Hanwoo meat house.
Netizens responded critically to Son Dam-bi's marriage news, saying, "I do not want to see Lee Kyou-hyuk on the air" and "I think I will appear on the air side by side with a couple." On the other hand, some of the opinions were that they should not be bothered by the marriage news.
Son Dam-bi and Lee admitted their devotion in early December last year. Son Dam-bi also announced on the 1st that he was married to the director who is in public with the article "Happy New Year" on SNS.
At that time, both companies said that they were unfounded, but in a fortnight, Son Dam-bi directly reported the marriage.
