Lee Yi-kyung's 'Exposer' Denies Extortion Claims, Admits Asking to Borrow Money

The netizen, identified as 'A', who previously accused actor Lee Yi-kyung of inappropriate behavior, has issued a further statement.

On her social media on the 20th, A clarified claims made by Lee Yi-kyung's agency regarding demands for money and threats.

Lee Yi-kyung's agency had announced legal action, stating that A had sent threatening emails demanding money. However, A explained, "I never asked for money, but I did ask once because I had financial problems and couldn't ask my parents."

She added, "I never received any money, and it hurt my feelings because he kept contacting me and asking about it. I tend to speak improperly when asking people for help, and after the incident where I felt uncomfortable due to money issues, I never asked again."

A also revealed that she is a German national who learned Korean through self-study and is not fluent, stating, "I hope there are no misunderstandings, and I wish people would not interfere with my private life. I didn't expect this to escalate so much."

Netizens are expressing curiosity about the truth, with comments like 'I wonder what the real story is,' 'It's too early to judge either side,' and 'We'll have to wait and see what unfolds.'
