Lee Yi-kyung's Rumor Controversy Reignites Amidst Accuser's Constant Retractions

Actor Lee Yi-kyung's personal life rumors are once again heading into a truth-seeking battle as the accuser repeatedly changes their story. After initially apologizing and claiming the accusations were AI-generated, the accuser abruptly asserted 'all evidence was real' before deleting posts, leading to repeated confusion.

The controversy began on the 20th of last month when an individual, identifying as a German woman and referred to as 'A', posted sexually explicit chat logs allegedly between her and Lee Yi-kyung. The situation escalated due to suggestive content hinting at sexual assault, prompting Lee Yi-kyung's agency to immediately declare the claims false and announce legal action.

'A' then changed her stance, confessing that the exposé was a fabrication, claiming she had created AI-generated images that felt real and apologized. She cited fear of legal repercussions and potential harm to her family as reasons for lying. The incident seemed to be resolved at this point.

However, the situation took another sharp turn. Following Lee Yi-kyung's departure from a currently airing program and the cancellation of his scheduled appearance on a new variety show, 'A' posted additional messages claiming she was 'unfairly treated because it wasn't AI,' presenting new arguments. She then reverted to her earlier claim, stating, 'All the evidence I posted was real.' Upon hearing about the lawsuit, she countered with 'This is the first I'm hearing of it,' retracting her previous apology.

'A's account has been intermittently deleting and re-uploading posts, and is now deactivated. The constant changes in her statements and deleted posts have only intensified the confusion among netizens.

Lee Yi-kyung's side maintains its original stance and is pursuing strong legal action. His agency confirmed that a lawsuit has already been filed and the plaintiff's investigation is complete. They stated, 'The malicious actions of the writer and disseminators have caused extreme damage. We will proceed without leniency, as they must be punished both domestically and internationally,' adding that resolving the case will take time.

This controversy is spreading, with the core of the issue becoming obscured by the accuser's repeated contradictions and deleted posts, leaving only confusion. In the process, Lee Yi-kyung has suffered tangible damage, including his departure from a program.

Netizens are expressing confusion, with comments like 'This is getting more confusing by the day,' 'I don't know what the truth is anymore,' and 'It seems like actor Lee Yi-kyung is the only one suffering damages.'
