[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Suwan] It has been reported that one of the people who introduced singer Kim Gunmo and his wife Jang Jiyeon is the wife of lawyer Kang Yongseok. In relation to this, Jang has denied that she gave a luxury handbag as a gift to Kang's wife, drawing attention from netizens.

On the 2nd, the YouTube channel 'Reporter Lee Jinho Singka' released a phone recording and text messages with Jang. Reporter Lee claimed, "Jang Jiyeon, Kim Gunmo's wife, has been having a hard time lately because lawyer Kang was the person who introduced her to Kim Gunmo."

Previously, the channel reported that there were three people who introduced Kim Gunmo and Jang. They are Kang's wife A, singer Lee Hyunwoo's wife B, and Jang's acquaintance C.

On the broadcast that day, Reporter Lee said, "Kang's wife A and another acquaintance introduced Jang and Kim Gunmo three times," adding, "Since A was one of the key figures who introduced the two, there was talk that the exclusive report on their marriage should have come from 'Garo Sero Research Institute' (Gaseyeon), but other media outlets released exclusive reports, which reportedly caused some resentment."

Reporter Lee also said, "There were stories that Jang gave expensive luxury handbags as a token of appreciation to Kang's wife A and others who introduced her to Kim Gunmo, but upon verification, it was confirmed that no such gift was actually given."

In particular, in the messages released by Reporter Lee, Jang stated, "It is true that those three people introduced us."

She added, "It is also true that I heard about the luxury handbag, but I never bought or gave it as a gift. They introduced us out of goodwill, and I am still grateful. I hope my acquaintances do not suffer from misunderstandings like this."

Meanwhile, Kim Gunmo and Jang legally became a married couple after registering their marriage last October. They are planning a wedding ceremony in May.

However, the Gaseyeon side has raised allegations that Kim Gunmo sexually assaulted an employee at an entertainment venue located in Gangnam, Seoul, leading to ongoing legal battles over the issue.
