In the early hours of January 4, the individual identified as A published a lengthy post on his personal account, reiterating past claims and presenting additional material that he says supports his allegations. A claimed that as early as last May they had emailed Lee Yi-kyung’s agency with the captured material related to what they described as inappropriate sexual comments and photos allegedly sent by the actor.
In the newly released statement, A claimed to have screenshots showing incoming voice calls from Lee Yi-kyung. According to A, the materials include chat recordings explaining that they were unable to answer the call, screenshots of the incoming voice call screen shared with an acquaintance, and corresponding timestamps.
A further alleged that during the call Lee Yi-kyung had made comments suggesting that A’s personal information could become public as a result of the email sent to the agency, warning that the matter could be treated as a criminal proceeding involving legal representation and investigation. A described the comments as threatening, claiming that the actor avoided taking responsibility for his past alleged sexually inappropriate comments, instead implying potential exposure of A’s identity..
The tipster added that although he never directly informed Lee Yi-kyung that he had contacted his agency, the actor allegedly initiated the contact first, which strengthened A’s belief that the caller was indeed Lee Yi-kyung.
According to A, the actor continued statements involving media involvement and emotional appeals, claiming that he considered A a close acquaintance and questioning why the report had been made. A stated that these interactions caused severe psychological pressure, leading them to send a follow-up email retracting the original tip.
Responding to questions about the authenticity of the released evidence, A explained that the screenshots show KakaoTalk’s machine translation feature activated and that the discrepancies in the timestamps are due to different time zone settings: Germany on A’s device and South Korea on the acquaintance’s device. A also clarified that they couldn’t send the full chat history because they changed phones and no longer have access to the original conversation, leaving only previously saved screenshots.
A concluded by stating that the credibility of the materials will eventually be verified through an official investigation. They stressed that the evidence had not been manipulated and revealed that, following the embassy’s guidance, they are preparing to take formal legal action. A also urged Lee Yi-kyung to fully cooperate with any potential forensic analysis if he wishes to uncover the truth.
Shortly thereafter, A uploaded an additional post reiterating these points and released what they described as proof photos to the public.
The controversy dates back to October last year, when A first accused a person allegedly Lee Yi-kyung of engaging in sexually explicit conversations and sharing selfies. At the time, Lee Yi-kyung’s agency strongly denied the claims and announced plans to take legal action against false information and harmful rumors.
He later issued an apology, stating that he had not received money or been threatenedbefore reversing their position once again and suggesting that they could provide further evidence, stating frustration at being accused of using AI-generated content.
Amid the ongoing dispute, Lee Yi-kyung has withdrawn from his regular cast role on MBC How do you play? and also resigned from his scheduled position as MC on KBS2 The Return of Superman.
As conflicting claims continue to emerge, the case remains unsolved, with public attention now focused on whether the matter will proceed through formal investigative channels.
