Lee Sugeun's side stated regarding the building sale that it was a "personal investment decision."
The agency, Big Planet Made Entertainment, officially announced on the afternoon of the 16th, "We wish to correct the facts concerning the article about the building sale under the name of Lee Sugeun's wife that was reported today."
Lee Sugeun's side stated, "The report suggested that the reason for the building sale was related to the preparation of medical expenses due to family health issues, but this is not true," and noted, "The sale of the building was a decision made based on personal investment judgment and asset management plans, and it is unrelated to any specific personal issues or health problems."
They also urged, "We hope misunderstandings do not spread, and we ask for warm interest in Lee Sugeun."

Below is the full statement from Lee Sugeun's side.
