A further stated: “It seems that the IU is trying to encourage as many people as possible to take to the streets and support Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment. To amplify his influence, I reported his actions to the CIA. I also encourage others to inform the CIA about the actions of such smart and admirable Korean celebrities.”

The email further stated: “IU is incredibly famous in Korea and wields significant influence. The United States is expected to disapprove of such impeachment motions in Korea.

I am reporting IU for her inappropriate actions in promoting an atmosphere of impeachment.”
