'AI Claims' German Woman A Releases More DMs With Lee Yi-kyung, Fueling Controversy

Allegations surrounding actor Lee Yi-kyung's private life continue to surface. Woman A, who claims to be German, has further escalated the controversy by releasing additional Instagram DM (Direct Message) content, purportedly between her and Lee Yi-kyung, on her social media on the 12th.

Woman A posted a video with the caption, "If anyone still thinks this is AI, raise your hand. This is truly the absolute last time. If this is real, then the rest of the KakaoTalk conversations must also be real, right? I feel embarrassed, but I can't help it."

The video content begins with a DM sent by A to Lee Yi-kyung on January 26, 2024, stating, "You are my ideal type. Is a foreigner okay?" The recipient, identified as Lee Yi-kyung's account, replied, "You speak Korean really well. Which country are you in?" After A sent voice messages and a selfie, the account allegedly responded, "You're covering it with a flower."

Furthermore, the released messages include statements such as, "If you're curious, aren't you supposed to show it?", "It's fascinating how the conversation turned this way after seeing your chest," "Are you shy about your chest?", "What's your size?", "E cup?", "I've never seen one before in my life," "Do you have a KakaoTalk ID?", and "I'll send you my KakaoTalk ID." These revelations have caused shock.

Previously, Woman A had apologized after admitting her accusations were AI-generated, only to later retract her statement, claiming she lied out of fear and that she had never used AI, asserting all her evidence was genuine, thus causing confusion. In response, Lee Yi-kyung's agency has maintained that A's claims are entirely false. Lee Yi-kyung filed a lawsuit against A in November at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, accusing her of threats and defamation through the dissemination of false information. He expressed his distress, stating, "Someone claiming to be a German person, whom I don't even know, keeps appearing and disappearing. I felt furious every single moment."

Netizens are commenting, "If she keeps doing this, shouldn't they just take legal action?", "The evidence she's posting is shocking," and "It seems difficult for the actor's image management, it's unfortunate."
