South Korean actor Lee Dong-Wook has come out with a strong warning against continued invasions of his privacy, such as unauthorized visits to his home and leaking of personal details. On October 14, his agency, KINGKONG by Starship Entertainment, issued an official statement dealing with these horrifying incidents.
The 43-year-old actor, who had appeared recently in The Divorce Insurance, has been subject to repeated intrusions into his personal life. The agency says that people have tried visiting his house, ventured into private areas, left improper letters, and followed his unofficial itineraries. Others have gone to the extent of obtaining his flight information through improper sources or taking the same flights in order to meet him during international travel.
These acts are blatant infringements on privacy,” the agency said. “We will take firm legal action against all types of infringement, including unauthorized visits, stalking, and leaks of information.” They also emphasized that according to South Korean law, this kind of behavior is not just immoral but illegal, including stalking charges and illegal entry charges.
The declaration was a stern warning to those ignoring individual limits and legal boundaries. Lee’s agency left it in no doubt that any such occurrence in the future would be addressed via the law courts with no mercy.
