Actor Lee Ji-hoon (46), who appeared in the movie 'The Crime City' that drew 10 million viewers, was confirmed to be the party to the police's dispatch due to a marital dispute.

The agency, Y1 Entertainment, said on the 14th that "'A 40-something actor A' reported today is Lee Ji-hoon, an actor in his 40s' and that the police were dispatched due to the spouse's report during an argument between the couple, but it was determined that it was not a serious matter after the on-site statement and confirmation."

"There is no assault, and the spouse has clearly stated that he has no intention of punishment, so the case is currently in the process of closing."I deeply apologize for causing concern to the public about this." Both Lee Ji-hoon and his spouse have feelings of self-reflection," he added.




According to the police earlier, actor Lee Ji-hoon argued with his wife at his home in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, on the afternoon of the 24th of last month 112 reports of a physical altercation were received. The police investigated the alleged assault, but classified it as a domestic violence case because the victim's wife did not want to be punished.

Lee Ji-hoon starred as Ma Dong-seok's junior detective in the movie `The Outlaws' and worked in a number of movies and dramas.
