Actress Lee Ji Ah has been unexpectedly dragged into a legal battle over a massive 35 billion won inheritance, left behind by her grandfather, who was classified as a pro-Japanese figure. The dispute is centered around her father, who has been accused of forgery by his own siblings.

On February 19, Lee Ji Ah’s agency, BH Entertainment, responded to the reports, telling OSEN, "We are currently checking the details of the matter."

They added, "We are discussing whether to provide an official response regarding the news about Lee Ji Ah’s father. Since this does not directly involve the actress herself, we ask for your understanding."

Earlier that day, The Fact reported that Lee Ji Ah (real name Kim Ji Ah)’s grandfather, Kim Soon Heung, left behind a large plot of land worth 35 billion won. However, a legal dispute broke out among his children over its ownership.

According to the report, Lee Ji Ah’s father, Mr. Kim, allegedly forged his siblings’ seals on legal documents in order to take control of the land.

A relative, identified as "A", explained that the land in Seoksu-dong, Anyang, originally belonged to Kim Soon Heung but was taken by the military. Years later, under a special law, his children were given priority to repurchase it.

The siblings initially planned to develop the land together, but they later discovered that Mr. Kim had already signed a contract with a mortgage of 16.9 billion won attached—without their consent.

The siblings claimed they only found out about the contract in May 2019 when foreclosure proceedings began.

They then sued Mr. Kim for forgery, but the case was dismissed twice by the police, and later by the prosecution, due to "lack of charges". Despite this, "A" stated they are determined to continue the legal fight by requesting a judicial review.

Additionally, "A" made further shocking claims, revealing that Lee Ji Ah’s father had been sentenced to prison three times for fraud and forgery in the past and was once fined 3 million won.

However, Mr. Kim defended himself, saying, "I legally obtained the seals and certificates. I have already undergone a full investigation, so I don’t understand why this is still an issue."

Regarding the forgery allegations, he countered, "My sister told me to do it."
