Actor Baek Yoon-sik (75) is considering legal action against his ex-lover K (45), who is about to publish an autobiographical essay.



On the afternoon of the 23rd, Baek Yoon-sik's agency Fantagio announced in an official position, "We are confirming the publication of the book, and we will also consider strong and strict legal measures (against Mr. K)."



Regarding the case of Baek Yoon-sik filing a 200 million won civil suit against K 9 years ago, he said, "Nine years ago, Baek Yoon-sik accepted Mr. K's apology and withdrew the lawsuit ahead of the ongoing trial. It was concluded through an amicable settlement. It happened,” he explained.



He also urged the press, "I earnestly request that you refrain from reporting speculative facts about unconfirmed facts."



Recently, it became known that Baek Yoon-sik's ex-lover, Mr. K, is scheduled to publish an essay next month.

It is known that this essay contains a story from the meeting with Baek Yoon-sik to the breakup.



K, known as a reporter for a terrestrial broadcaster, gathered a lot of attention in 2013 when it became known that he was dating Baek Yoon-sik, who is 30 years older than him.

A photo of the date was published in a media outlet, and both sides admitted that they were dating, but broke up three weeks later.

In the process, Mr. K predicted that he would hold a press conference to expose Baek Yoon-sik, but it was abruptly canceled.

Afterwards, Baek Yoon-sik filed a civil lawsuit against K for 200 million won in damages for spreading false information and defamation, but withdrew.
