Lee Yi-kyung Faces Privacy Scandal After Expose; SNS Flooded with Comments

Actor Lee Yi-kyung's social media is being inundated with comments following a public accusation regarding his private life.

A woman, identifying herself as German and referred to as Ms. A, posted a lengthy exposé on a blog titled 'Revealing Lee Yi-kyung's True Self.'

Ms. A's post includes alleged chat logs from KakaoTalk and Instagram direct messages, along with selfie photos believed to be of Lee Yi-kyung. The messages reportedly contained inappropriate content, including requests for explicit photos, profanity, and sexual harassment.

"I lost many pieces of evidence while changing my phone, but this is Lee Yi-kyung's true self," Ms. A stated, adding, "My Korean isn't perfect, so my expressions might be awkward."

In response to the sudden exposé, Lee Yi-kyung's agency, Sangyoung ENT, announced its intention to take legal action. The agency stated that threatening messages had been sent for the past five months and that they would calculate the extent of direct and indirect damages from the spread of false information and take all necessary measures.

While the veracity of Ms. A's claims remains unconfirmed, Lee Yi-kyung's Instagram account is now flooded with netizen comments. Remarks include expressions of disappointment like "Why did you do that?" and "If it's true, I'm disappointed," alongside critical comments mimicking the alleged messages, such as "Send pics."

Meanwhile, Lee Yi-kyung was recently selected as an MC for the KBS variety show 'The Return of Superman.'

Netizens are speculating, with comments like "What's the truth?", "This will significantly damage Lee Yi-kyung's image", and "We need to wait for the agency's statement." They are closely watching the unfolding situation.
