did. In fact, even after that, family photos continued to be used as a means of promoting the hospital online. In the end, in October 2022, Lee Dong-guk and his wife sent a modeling contract to a certain Mr. Kim.

When a lease-related dispute arose with former director of Women's Hospital A, Lee Dong-guk and his wife claim that they are putting pressure on them through this opportunity because they are close to them.
Everything he claims is groundless. I hope that Lee Dong-guk's name will not be used any more due to disputes with hospital officials.
Mr. Kim, who has deceived the public with clearly false facts, is currently facing legal charges for defamation and false accusations.
We are currently preparing to respond. thank you.
