Actress Lee Ji A and her brother are in a legal battle over their father's 3.6 billion yen land, whose father is known to be pro-Japan.

It has been revealed that Kim, the son of the late Kim Seung-hun, the biological father of actress Lee Ji A and said to be pro-Japan, is engaged in a legal battle with his siblings.
On the 19th (today), the Korean entertainment media "The Fact" reported that he is the youngest of 12 siblings, with seven sons and five daughters.
It was reported that Kim was suspected of using his older brother and sister's seals to forge powers of attorney. Separately from this case, Kim was actually fined for forgery of a private document and was charged with forgery of a private document and fraud.
Lee Ji A's cousin and Kim's nephew, A, said through the media that the dispute between Kim and his family was caused by the late Kim Seung-hoo.
He explained that the project started with the purchase of a large amount of land left by Ng, worth 35 billion won (approximately 3.69 billion yen).
The land was originally a military site, but in 2013 the military unit that had been using the site was to relocate to Ansan, and the Ministry of Defense, in accordance with Article 20 of the Special Law on the Liquidation of Requisitioned Property,
The children of Kim Seung-hun, who was the heir to the estate, were given the right of first repurchase. Kim Seung-hun's children are planning to transfer the ownership of the land and promote development projects.
However, during this process, a contract was drawn up with a company unknown to the siblings, which established a mortgage of 16.9 billion won (approximately 1.783 billion yen). The problem is that the contract states that the landlord is the
The document bears Kim's seal as "representative and delegate." None of Kim Seung-hun's siblings, except for his eldest son, who is now deceased, have ever delegated Kim as the landowner's representative.
The heirs claim that they only became aware of the land after an application for auction was submitted in May 2019. In November 2020, the heirs denied the registration of the mortgage, arguing that Kim did not have the authority to represent the landowner.
In March 2021, while the lawsuit was ongoing, Kim's side submitted documents stating for the first time that a power of attorney stating that "the landowners appoint Kim as the landowners' representative" existed.
A explained that he had only recently acknowledged the facts. A said that his family was confused and that "Kim had received a registered seal and a seal certificate from his family, which he said were necessary to buy back the land."
"There is a document in the bank account, but it seems that this was used to create the power of attorney," the family claimed. In March 2022, the family filed a complaint against Kim with Anyang Bayside Police Station on suspicion of forgery of a private document and use of a forged private document.
However, in July of the same year, a decision was made not to indict, and Mr. A filed a complaint against Mr. Kim on the same charges in November 2023, but was not referred in May 2024. The prosecution, who had doubts about the decision not to indict,
The police, who ordered a supplementary investigation, acknowledged Kim's suspicions of forgery and use of forged private documents on the 24th of last month and sent the case to the prosecution. However, the prosecution announced on the 7th of this month that it had filed charges against Kim.
The media outlet also reported that they had confirmed that Kim had been punished for forgery of private documents against A and her biological mother B.
On November 1, 2022, the Anyang Branch of the Suwon District Court found Kim guilty of forgery of private documents and other charges, and sentenced him to a fine of 3 million won (approximately 300,000 yen).
However, Kim is known to have proclaimed his innocence, arguing that he was authorized to act using a certificate and official seal that he received through legal procedures.
We asked Lee Ji A's management office, BH Entertainment, for their position on this matter, but they replied that they were "currently checking."
