Lee Ji Hoon's agency, Entertainment, has confirmed that he is the actor reported to the police by his wife for alleged domestic violence. However, the agency denied that any assault happened. 'During a marital argument, the police arrived on the scene due to a report by his wife, but they determined based on testimony at the scene that it was not a serious incident,' the statement said as published by Soompi. 'There was no assault, and his wife has clearly stated that she does not wish to press charges, so the case is currently in the process of being closed,' it added.

'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre': Pirena shields Terra in emotional reunion
After a string of near misses, Pirena (Glaiza de Castro) and Terra (Bianca Umali) finally came face-to-face again, but this time, they are now fully aware of each other's real identities. On Friday's episode of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre,' Mitena (Rhian Ramos) sent Olgana (Bianca Manalo) on a mission to find Terra, lending her the fire gem to give her an advantage against the powerful Sang'gre. She warned Olgana that betrayal would mean death, but Olgana vowed loyalty. Alongside Veshdita (Shuvee Etrata) and other warriors, Olgana crossed through a portal to the mortal realm, unseen by human eyes. Watching from a distance, Pirena grew alarmed as she recognized they were hunting her long-lost niece. Their presence soon turned deadly, stabbing innocent civilians, including Terra's friend, Dina (Therese Malvar). Realizing something was terribly wrong, Terra donned her Sang'gre garb and confronted the intruders and revealed her ability to see them when no one else could. A fight erupted, confirming to Olgana's group that they had found the Sang'gre they sought. As Terra fought back, Olgana unleashed the fire gem's power against her, but just before it struck, Pirena appeared, shielding Terra from the attack. 'Hindi ganyan ang wastong paggamit ng brilyante. Ako ang iyong kalabanin, 'wag ang aking hadiya,' Pirena declared, marking the long-awaited reunion of aunt and niece. Terra and Pirena had already crossed paths before, but neither knew then that they were aunt and niece or that Terra was the one Pirena had long been searching for. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
