Lawyer Shin Ji's colleague rebuked a lawyer who offered excessive and unwelcome advice regarding the marriage of singer Shin Ji and Moon Won.

Lawyer Go Sang-rok recently stated on his social media, "I also run a YouTube channel, but honestly, there are too many lawyers who, under the title of 'lawyer,' say things that are completely out of their minds."

He continued, "Even after receiving such criticism from the entire nation, if they insist on marrying because they want to, is it human behavior to heap more insults on top of that?" He expressed his outrage.

This appears to be a direct response aimed at lawyer Lee Ji-hoon, who has been criticized for offering excessive and unwelcome advice regarding Shin Ji's marriage. Recently, Lawyer Lee mentioned Shin Ji's marriage on his YouTube channel, "The Knowable Lawyer."

At that time, he said, "If Shin Ji were my younger sister, I would never allow this marriage. Not just prevent it, but I would make sure it doesn't happen." He added, "I congratulate you on getting married. Didn't you marry to be happy? If you find you are not happy while living together, I hope you do not hesitate to divorce. Marriage should be approached with caution, but divorce should be handled swiftly."

He also stated, "Of course, I am not telling you to divorce. However, if conflicts remain unresolved or if there was deception during the marriage process, you should not hesitate to divorce. If you stubbornly hide problems to show off a happy life, you will eventually become even more distressed. If Shin Ji feels excessive guilt or responsibility, the balance of the relationship could collapse."

However, after the video was released, criticism poured in, pointing out that mentioning the divorce of a couple who had only been married for a short time, without even being asked for counseling, is not advice but mere insults.

Shin Ji held her wedding ceremony on the 2nd with singer Moon Won, who is seven years her junior. Following the couple's marriage announcement last year, Shin Ji faced numerous controversies and difficulties regarding Moon Won's divorce history, the existence of his children, his past profession, and various other allegations. However, Shin Ji said, "I am fully aware of all the loving concerns and worries," and added, "As we have lived together, we have grown closer, relied on each other, and become even stronger," urging blessings for their union.
