Actor Lee Yi-kyung overcame private life rumors and appeared as is on Hangout With Yoo.
On the 25th, MBC's Hangout With Yoo aired as a special titled "Comma, Club autumn gathering." Yoo Jae-suk, transformed into an autumn man, waited for the gathering members and soon Haha, Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung appeared. They attracted attention by appearing in flashy hiking outfits.
Joo Woo-jae introduced his nickname as Yeoksam-dong 3 big 500, but Haha called him "jjoda=jo-uda." Haha revealed himself as Seoritae, and Lee Yi-kyung was briefly introduced as IMF. However, there was no comment from Lee Yi-kyung until guests Ha Dong-gyun and Heo Kyung-hwan appeared.
But there was a reason. Lee Yi-kyung's character was extremely introverted within the program. Standing timidly beside Yoo Jae-suk throughout the opening, he drew attention by saying, "I was discouraged during the IMF, but I came out today to renew myself."
Meanwhile, earlier on the 20th, Lee Yi-kyung was embroiled in so-called '19+ private life revelations' through SNS and online communities. A person identifying herself as a German woman, A, posted an exposé saying "I had sexual conversations with Lee Yi-kyung," and the fallout grew when expressions suggesting sexual assault appeared in the process.
In response, Lee Yi-kyung's agency Sangyoung ENT immediately announced an official position, saying, "We are preparing legal action for damage caused by the spread of false information and malicious rumors," and "Considering the seriousness of the matter, we will take all legal measures."
In the end, A apologized on SNS saying, "I did not expect a post that started as a joke to receive such great attention at first," and "As I made AI photos, they increasingly felt real, and in the end they spread like malicious rumors, and I am truly sorry. It was a post written for fun, but it felt real and I feel guilty." <
