Director Lee Jung-seop, who was dismissed after directing the movie "Real," was recently sent to the prosecution after being accused of defaming actor Kim Soo-hyun.

According to an industry official on the 6th, "Real" director Lee Jung-seop accused Kim Soo-hyun of defamation and was sent to the prosecution. An official explained to Star News, "Kim Soo-hyun's fandom has filed a complaint and the process is underway."

After the Kim Soo-hyun controversy last year, the Kim Soo-hyun fandom association reportedly filed a complaint against Lee Jung-seop, who continued to post messages related to Kim Soo-hyun on social media, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul reportedly sent the suspect, Lee Jung-seop, to the prosecution. It is expected that the prosecution's investigation will determine whether the person is guilty or not.

Coach Lee Jung-seop posted his opinion on the controversy between Kim Soo-hyun and "Real" last year on social media.

Released in 2017, Real is a film about two men surrounding Asia's largest casino, starring Kim Soo-hyun. At the time, director Lee Jung-seop filmed almost all of "Real," but the director changed to director Lee Sa-rang (currently Irobe), the representative of the production company and Kim Soo-hyun's family during the second half of the work. Director Lee Jung-seop, who dropped out of the film after filming "Real" amid Kim Soo-hyun's controversy in 2025, eight years after the film's release, also expressed his position himself.

Director Lee Jung-seop strongly criticized Kim Soo-hyun-related suspicions or shared articles from others who raised suspicions that Kim Soo-hyun was a "child sex offender."
