Actor Lee Lee-kyung's Personal Life Exposure Controversy 'Confusion'... Whistleblower A suddenly deletes SNS account

The controversy surrounding actor Lee Lee-kyung's personal life exposure has become prolonged due to the whistleblower A's deletion of their SNS account and frequent reversals of their statements, leading to a state of confusion.

On the 19th, whistleblower A posted on their SNS, "I want to say this one last time," reversing their previous stance. A stated, "I sincerely apologize for causing confusion due to my post. In fact, I said everything was a lie because I was scared," and reiterated, "All the evidence I posted was real."

Whistleblower claims "I am being threatened" before deleting account

However, on the same day in the afternoon, A left a post stating, "I am being seriously threatened by someone I don't know, so I will delete my account," and suddenly deleted their SNS account, effectively disappearing.

In response, Lee Lee-kyung's agency, Sangyoung ENT, borrowed A's words to convey, "The person who threatened is not from Lee Lee-kyung's side," while also emphasizing, "There was no attempt at any agreement or discussion of compensation."

The agency stated, "Due to the malicious actions of the authors and distributors, the damage to the actor and the agency is severe," and declared, "We recognize that such actions will be punished regardless of domestic or international law, and we plan to respond firmly without leniency, even if it takes some time."

'AI Manipulation' → 'Real' Back and Forth... Legal Action Underway

This controversy began on the 20th of last month when A, who claimed to be of German nationality, revealed images on their Naver blog that included requests for physical photos, insults, and sexually harassing expressions, claiming they were messages with Lee Lee-kyung.

At that time, Lee Lee-kyung's side immediately refuted, stating, "This is not true," and A quickly apologized, saying, "It was manipulated by AI," only to later claim again that "The evidence is real." They have repeatedly changed their stance.

The agency has filed a complaint with the police against the authors and distributors of the related posts for defamation and plans to clarify the facts through investigations by the authorities.

Due to this controversy, Lee Lee-kyung has stepped down from the MBC show 'How Do You Play?' and has also withdrawn from the MC position of KBS 2TV 'The Return of Superman', suffering serious damage to his activities.
