The rep continued, "He has been gathering a lot of data regarding the malicious commenters. He took action against 8 netizens for now but he plans to take legal action (against more netizens) if the act continues. He has been having a hard time as the degree of malicious comments about his family has become severe. We hope that people know malicious comments can become a great pain to a celebrity's family."

Currently, Lee Hwi Jae's father is suffering from Alzheimer's�disease. During his appearance on 'Superman is Back' last month, his inability to recognize Lee Hwi Jae and his grandchildren, Seo Eon and Seo Joon, broke many hearts.�
