K-pop icon Seo Taiji’s divorce from E Jiah is getting even more complicated.

Seo said yesterday that he would agree to his ex-wife’s withdrawal of her lawsuit against him on the condition that the two parties cease slandering each other.

Both sides must agree in order to withdraw a lawsuit.

E Jiah sued in January to divide the couple’s estate following their divorce in the United States. The suit, which became public in April, was a shock to Koreans, who had not known the two celebrities had been married.

To avoid public scrutiny, E expressed her intention of dropping the suit. But Seo insisted that the lawsuit go forward, saying that it would help public misunderstanding.

A fourth hearing for the lawsuit at the Seoul Family Court, scheduled for Monday, was suddenly postponed until Aug. 8 at Seo’s request. Seo’s representatives said in a statement Monday that the request was made to “thoroughly prepare a response to E’s new claim.” E, according to Seo’s representatives, recently claimed that their divorce, which was made in the U.S., could be invalid in Korea.

Late Monday, E’s representatives said that her claim remained unchanged and that she received legal advice to finalize her divorce in Korea to avoid further legal problems.
