Seo Taiji and Lee Ji Ah have amicably settled their divorce.

Lee Jia’s agency KeyEast announced through a public release, stating “We offer our most sincere apologies to those who were heavily concerned in regards to the lawsuit between Seo Taiji and Lee Ji Ah. Both parties have amicably reached an agreement and finalized their divorce on July 29th at 10AM KST.”

They continued, “Because the Hague Convention needed the specific divorce procedures in writing in order to finalize their divorce in America, and because we also wanted to prevent any false rumors about their divorce from spreading in the future, we have decided to publicly release their official divorce settlement in full detail with the consent of both parties.”

The divorce settlement between Seo Taiji and Lee Ji Ah is as follows:

c) Both the plaintiff and the defendant will not share or sell materials that are in relation to their previous marriage including all publications, displays, and albums.

4. In the event that either the plaintiff or the defendant publicizes any material related to their previous marriage, this will be considered a breach of settlement and the breacher will pay the penalty of 200,000,000₩ to the opposite party.
