On February 9, the woman, identified as A, released a statement through her personal account explaining why she had remained silent for some time. She said the reason was her cooperation with Korean police authorities, adding that she was concerned about how Korea’s legal system differed from that of other countries could potentially put her at a disadvantage. Despite these concerns, he said he ultimately decided to cooperate with the investigation to prove that his claims were based on fact.
A further revelation revealed that he had submitted all the evidence he had relating to the case. Because he cannot travel to South Korea in person, he explained that he has been working remotely with the assigned investigator. According to his statement, the investigation has already been ongoing for more than a month and, due to the amount of materials examined, it will take a long time.
She stressed that, although the process will be long, she intends to continue to cooperate in good faith until the investigation is concluded. A added that once the case is solved, the identity of the person linked to the submitted materials will be clearly confirmed through official investigative channels. He also noted that relevant communication documents still exist and that the accounts involved in conversations with Lee Yi Kyung were actively used at that time, expressing hope that the truth would eventually be fully clarified.
The dispute began in October last year when A claimed she and Lee Yi Kyung had exchanged sexually explicit messages, continuing to make allegations about her private life. Lee Yi Kyung has strongly denied the allegations and filed a criminal complaint against her at the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, accusing her of blackmail and defamation through spreading false information. He has reportedly already completed his statement as a complainant.
Previously addressing the controversy, Lee Yi Kyung had shared her emotional distress, saying she felt intense anger and frustration because someone claiming to be a German citizen whose identity and existence she repeatedly questioned appeared and disappeared while allegedly sending threatening emails to her company months earlier. As investigations into both parties continue, public attention remains focused on how the case will unfold.
