"People feel sorry for me…"

Lee Seung Gi recently talked about his new hairstyle, which is short.

At the 2022 KBS Drama Awards on December 31, Lee Seung Gi turned heads when he showed up with his head shaved.

Lee Seung Gi is in a legal battle with his former agency, HOOK Entertainment, and it was thought that he had cut his hair because of this.

When Lee Seung Gi was called to the stage to accept his "Best Couple Award," he was quick to address the rumors.

Lee Seung Gi said why he cut his hair during his acceptance speech.

"Before I give my speech of thanks, I'd like to tell you quickly why I cut my hair. Many people are making assumptions (I cut my hair) because of how they feel. I am making a movie right now. I'm a monk in the play." - Lee Seung Gi

Lee Seung Gi then said that his new hairstyle had nothing to do with what he was going through at the moment. He shut down all rumors.

"I hope you don't get the wrong idea. People look at me with pity, which I don't think is fair." - Lee Seung Gi
Lee Seung Gi ended his speech by giving HOOK Entertainment a warning by saying that the star had "plans to promote (as an artist) and plans to fight" in 2023. (HOOK Entertainment). Since you already know, I won't say anything else."

Lee Seung Gi is in a legal battle with HOOK Entertainment, which was his home for a long time.

When it came out that the CEO of the agency, Kwon Jin Young, had stolen millions of dollars from the star and lied to him to make him think he wasn't a good singer, the fight began.
