A woman identified as A, who sparked controversy by exposing actor Lee Yi-kyung's private life, has once again deleted her SNS account. Having changed her position several times from exposure to apology, retraction and counteraccusation, she this time deleted the account saying, "I was threatened by someone I don't know." However, leaving only frequent whims and contradictory claims, the case has slipped back into confusion.
Last month A posted on her blog along with the headline "reveal the actor's alleged true colors Lee Yi-kyung" a capture of messages that appeared to be sexual conversations. The post was deleted quickly, but it had already spread rapidly on SNS and online communities.
Afterwards, on the day news broke that Lee Yi-kyung was leaving Hangout With Yoo, A suddenly posted on SNS "I feel wronged if this ends like this. I'm considering reposting verification" and intensified the fallout. Lee Yi-kyung's side immediately vowed a tough response, saying "all false." The agency said, "A previously demanded money through false allegations and even sent an apology letter," directly denying credibility.
But suddenly A later rebutted, saying, "Misunderstandings arose because my Korean is poor," and "It's not about money and I'm not a scammer." She even posted additional captures and videos, claiming, "This time I'm gathering evidence."
But a few days later she again reversed her position. "At first it was a joke. I didn't know it would grow like this." "Using AI photos made them feel real," she said. A posted an apology and then deleted her SNS account.
But that apology did not last long either. A recovered her SNS a few days after deleting the account and posted that "I didn't receive money and I wasn't threatened," contradicting her apology. The next day she again denied her "AI explanation," saying, "No matter how good AI gets, it can't make a celebrity's face." Online there was criticism such as "Her words change day by day," and "At this point it's not a joke but malicious."
Moreover, right after Lee Yi-kyung's agency announced "we have completed filing suits against the author and distributors," A again rebutted, saying, "I have never been sued." After related articles appeared, she changed her story again, saying, "This is the first time I'm hearing that AI was a lie." The public expressed strong fatigue, saying, "Which of these statements is true?" and "At this point it's a story made up by herself."
On the 14th, A finally deleted her SNS again, saying, "I was seriously threatened by someone I don't know, so I will delete the account." She added, "The person who threatened me is not Lee Yi-kyung's side," seemingly to block new misunderstandings. However, repeated exposures, retractions and deletions solidified a mood that A's claims could no longer be trusted.
Despite that, Lee Yi-kyung does not stop. Unlike A's confusing actions, Lee Yi-kyung has continued to keep his schedule. Although there were some changes such as leaving Hangout With Yoo and canceling his joining The Return of SUPERMAN, those measures were, as the agency and broadcasting officials said, due to "schedule issues," not a "private life controversy."
In fact, Lee Yi-kyung is currently filming a project overseas, and his appearances on existing regular programs such as I'm SOLO, Brave Detective and Handsome Guys are all being maintained. The agency said, "The legal filing procedure against the author and distributors has already been completed, and we will continue to take a tough stance without any settlements or compensation."
A's cycle of "exposure → apology → retraction → deletion" has added confusion rather than clarifying the facts. But the disappearance of an SNS account does not mean the case is over. Lee Yi-kyung's side is sorting out the matter through legal procedures, and Lee Yi-kyung himself is continuing his scheduled activities and showing an unwavering attitude.<
