Former Sechs Kies member Ko Ji-yong shared a relaxed weekend at the sea with his dog, posting several photos from Gangneung beach on October 26.

What did Ko Ji-yong post?

Ko wore a pink hoodie in the photos, taking a selfie with his dog and showing the dog looking out at the water from the sand. He captioned the post as the dog's first sea trip.

What is the background to the dispute?

In July, Ko said on social media that he had divorced his ex-wife Heo Yang-im two years earlier. His agency then filed a provisional injunction request to stop interference with visitation and to ban posting photos or videos of the child. According to reports, Ko's side said he had seen his son only about six times since the divorce.

Why is it drawing attention?

The contrast between the calm beach post and the ongoing family dispute has drawn public interest, though the court process and the details of the disagreement remain unresolved in the reports.
