Summary
Former BIGBANG member Seungri said on October 28 that he has already legally registered his marriage to a non-celebrity partner in her 20s and is preparing to become a father in January 2027. He denied speculation that the couple rushed into marriage because of the pregnancy, saying they had married before she conceived and are now setting up a newlywed home in Seoul's Gangnam district
Key Points
- Seungri, whose legal name is Lee Seung-hyun, said his wife is a non-celebrity in her 20s and that their son is due in January 2027.
- After reports triggered speculation about a premarital pregnancy, he told South Korean media the couple had already completed legal marriage registration before the pregnancy
- He said there are no current plans for a wedding ceremony, and that his priority is his wife's health and prenatal care
- Reports said the couple have prepared a newlywed home in Seoul's Gangnam district, while one outlet said a ceremony may be held after the child is born.
- Seungri said he feels a heavier sense of responsibility for a family and wants people to see him living quietly and steadily after reflecting deeply on past wrongdoing
Why It Matters
The news has drawn attention because Seungri remains a controversial former K-pop star whose personal life is still closely watched across Asia, including by fans in Hong Kong as BIGBANG marks its 20th anniversary and prepares for November concerts in the city. His remarks also show he is trying to frame the marriage and pregnancy as a private family matter rather than a public comeback
