A, who repeatedly reversed rumors about actor Lee Yi-kyung's private life and sparked controversy, again deleted their SNS account. This time, saying "I'm being threatened by someone I don't know," they suddenly closed the account, further amplifying the controversy.
On the 14th, A left a post on SNS saying "I'm being seriously threatened by someone I don't know, so I will delete my account" and immediately deleted the account. They also added, "The person who threatened me is not connected to Lee Yi-kyung. Don't make strange rumors," leaving a message that seemed to be aware of a new misunderstanding.
However, there was no clear explanation even up to the moment the account was deleted, and his repeated reversals only increased the confusion.
Recently, A, claiming to be a "German internet user," released photos purportedly showing captured messages exchanged with Lee Yi-kyung that contained sexual conversation, causing an uproar. But Lee Yi-kyung's side responded that "all of it is false and we are preparing legal action," and A suddenly deleted the post and reversed their position, saying "I manipulated it with AI."
The problem came after that. A reopened the account and continued claims that directly contradicted previous explanations, such as "it's not AI," "I'm the victim but they made me look like a bad person," and "I've never been sued." In this process, internet users reacted critically, saying, "Your explanations change daily, is this real?", "It's more confusing because both the exposé and the retraction came from their own mouth," and "Do they think deleting an account ends it?"
During the repeated confusion, Lee Yi-kyung left MBC's Hangout With Yoo, where he had been appearing, and his joining KBS's The Return of SUPERMAN was also canceled. But this was reported to be due to a "scheduling issue" unrelated to the private life controversy. There were also eyewitness reports that Lee Yi-kyung was filming abroad. The agency said that, regardless of A's frequent reversals and SNS deletions, "we have already completed the complaint procedure and will continue legal action."
Criticism has continued online over A's successive reversals and deletions. Internet users reacted, "Their words change every day, who would believe that?" "Exposé → AI → invalid → threat → deletion… it's like a drama they made themselves," and "If you're the victim you should be consistent, why keep changing?" Some also said, "If they were really threatened, they should report it first," expressing skepticism about the situation itself.
