Overview
- On Oct 22, the anonymous poster said the screenshots were created with AI, called the uploads “a joke,” and apologized for spreading false rumors about Lee Yi-kyung.
- The allegations began Oct 20 with viral posts of purported chats and a rebuttal video linking messages to Lee’s Instagram, before the original blog was suspended for a “rights violation.”
- Sangyoung ENT denied the claims from the outset and says it is preparing legal measures, assessing damages, and warning that those who create or repost defamatory content may face consequences.
- The agency says the same individual sought money months earlier and later emailed an apology after a legal warning, while the accuser previously said she asked for money once and received none.
- Media reports note that the posts and images have been deleted, online users questioned the accuser’s claimed German identity, and inconsistencies such as mixed device indicators suggested fabrication.
