Lee Yi-Kyung Case Shifts With Tip on 1 Billion Won Request as Accuser Reasserts Claims

Investigators at Seoul’s Gangnam Police Station are assessing fresh submissions in a dispute over explicit chats, alleged fabrication, extortion claims.

Overview

  • Lee’s agency said it received an anonymous tip with Instagram messages discussing asking the company for 1 billion won and plans to submit the material to investigators.
  • In a November 26 YouTube interview, the woman identified as A reiterated that exchanges with Lee stretched about 1.5 years, said he asked for a selfie, and described sexual remarks that left her afraid.
  • A denied seeking money and said she emailed the agency earlier to verify his identity after unsettling messages, disputing the agency’s claim of a prior threatening approach.
  • She acknowledged previously apologizing by attributing some posts to AI manipulation, then said a Korean acquaintance advised that tactic and later withdrew the claim.
  • Sangyoung ENT and Lee have filed complaints alleging defamation and blackmail, the police review is underway, and A said she has not yet received legal documents as the case continues; Lee’s TV projects remain halted.
