Blogger Posts Video Linking Alleged Lewd Chats to Lee Yi-kyung as Agency Prepares Legal Action

No independent verification exists, with both sides contesting extortion claims.

Overview

  • Screenshots of KakaoTalk and Instagram conversations, containing sexually suggestive remarks and showing Lee Yi-kyung’s name and selfies, spread widely online on Oct. 20.
  • Lee’s agency, Sangyoung ENT, called the posts false, said it is preparing legal measures, and warned that reposting alleged defamation could lead to liability.
  • The blogger released a rebuttal video showing messages tied to the actor’s official Instagram account and shared additional screenshots featuring suggestive requests and compliments.
  • Sangyoung ENT says the woman previously sought money and attempted extortion months earlier, while the blogger says she asked for money only once, received none, and posted to warn others.
  • The original blog content was later removed after a rights-violation request, according to a notice reported by a Korean portal, and no outside verification or court action has been reported.
