Popular Actor Goes After Accuser Who Fabricated Evidence, Vows Zero Mercy

According to Lee Yi Kyung’s agency, Sangyoung ENT, the actor has initiated a legal response to the individual who had levied some serious allegations against him last month.

On November 3, KST, Sangyoung ENT released an official statement confirming that they had submitted the necessary evidence and filed an official complaint with the Gangnam Police Station against the individual, charging them with spreading false information and defamation. They also firmly stated that they had no intention to settle this issue, nor was financial compensation on the table.

Sangyoung ENT made it clear that they will show no leniency regarding this matter, vowing to go after any malicious attempts to harm their artists’ image even in the future.

The incident in question began on October 19, when a foreign netizen suddenly posted an exposé on X (formerly Twitter), claiming that Lee Yi Kyung had exchanged aggressively explicit messages with her through KakaoTalk. The screenshots spread like wildfire across online communities, significantly damaging the actor’s public image.

Lee’s agency responded to the controversy immediately, claiming the actor’s innocence. The supposed victim then suddenly posted an apology on October 21, KST, admitting that she had fabricated all the screenshots using AI.

Hello, fellow Koreans. Some may know, but recently, I posted various photos regarding actor Lee Yi Kyung. I didn’t think that something that started as a joke would receive this much interest. But the more I kept posting and using AI photos, the more I started thinking that way…I am truly sorry for spreading malicious rumors about actor Lee Yi Kyung. What started as a fan’s enthusiasm gradually led to emotional involvement. What began as something fun started to feel real, and I feel guilty about it. If there is any responsibility I need to take, I will take it. Being German, please understand if my sentences are awkward.
