1. The origin of Lee Yi-kyung's "romance scam victim rumor"

 

On October 20, 2025, an article titled "Exposing Lee Yi Kyung's true nature" was posted on a blog.

The post was accompanied by a screenshot of a conversation between a man believed to be actor Lee Yi-kyung and a woman, and the content of the conversation was not just a simple exchange with a fan; it included explicit sexual remarks and requests for body photos.

 

The post in question was deleted within a few hours, but screenshots of it quickly spread across social media before it was removed.
Keywords such as "Lee Yi Kyung Romance Scam," "Lee Yi Kyung KakaoTalk," and "Expose Blog" became trending topics.

 

The shock was all the more intense for actor Lee Yi-kyung, who is known for his bright and humorous image.

 

 

 

 

2. Details of the KakaoTalk content that was spread and the blog that exposed it

The exposed conversation captures contained numerous sexually explicit expressions such as "Send me a photo of your body" and "I'll do this for you."

The whistleblower claimed, "I want to show Lee Yi-kyung's true face," and explained, "I made this public so that other women will not be victimized."

 

The claims in the exposé blog can be summarized as follows:

 

classification	Content
Conversation Capture	Allegations that Lee Yi-kyung made sexual demands on women
Purpose of exposure	"To reveal the hidden side of the actor"
demands for money	"I've never asked for money. I only heard once, 'I need your help.'"
Motivation for release	To protect other women

 

However, the poster was unable to provide any solid evidence to support his statements, and the unnatural writing style and expressions led to many people claiming that the post was fabricated.

 

 

 

 

3. The identity of the whistleblower and his claims

The whistleblower introduced herself as a "foreign woman living in Germany" and explained that "I have been self-studying Korean for eight years, so my writing just seems unnatural."

 

He also claims, "I never asked for money, and only once asked if I could help him with 500,000 won."

However, there was strong skepticism about her claims in the Korean online community, with many people saying things like, "Her use of Korean is too natural," and "It's probably a Korean person pretending to be someone other than a foreigner."

 

This raises the possibility that the whistleblowers themselves may be "romance scam-type fraudsters" or false accusers.

 

 

 

 

4. Official statement from the agency and legal response policy

 

Lee Yi Kyung's agency, Ssangyong ENT, released an official statement immediately after the incident.
The statement stated, "The revelations are completely false, and the poster has previously made similar requests for money."

He further explained, "I have received multiple threatening emails over the past five months, and at the time they admitted that they were false and I received an apology."

However, the same person spread false information again, and the government announced that it would assess the amount of damages and take civil and criminal legal action.

This swift response is seen as a message from the agency that it will take firm action against "malicious false accusations targeting celebrities."

 

 

 

 

5. Release of additional evidence and online reaction

 

On October 21st, the whistleblower claimed, "This is the real account," and released a video of the Instagram DM.
The video showed what was said to be Lee Yi-kyung's official account, but there may have been traces of editing, and it is considered to be unreliable as evidence.

 

The theory that Lee Yi-kyung was the victim gradually gained popularity online.
Many users commented, "The context is too unnatural," "It's likely fabricated," and "The person must be mentally unstable."
On the other hand, there were also opinions that "if true, it is a serious matter," but the mainstream view is that "they are victims of false exposure."

 

 

 

 

6. Expert and Community Analysis: "Is Lee Yi-kyung the Victim?"

Legal experts are analyzing the case as a "blackmail-style false exposé disguised as a romance scam."
It is highly likely that the whistle-blower pretended to be a foreigner and asked for financial support, then spread false information.

The following reactions were seen in major Korean communities:

 

community	Main reactions
Instiz	"I don't understand why he would ask for help and then expose them."
Twitter (X)	"It's obvious he's pretending to be a foreigner."
DC Inside	"It's probably an attempted romance scam. Lee Yi-kyung is the victim."
Nate Pan	"False disclosure is a crime. It should definitely be prosecuted."

 

Many experts have pointed out that "Lee Yi-kyung is likely the victim, not the perpetrator," and public opinion is leaning in that direction.

 

 

 

 

7. Recent status after the incident and future plans

 

Lee Yi Kyung is currently a regular on MBC's "What Do You Do When You Hang Out?"
He will also be the new MC for KBS2's "Superman Returns," which will air next month.

 

The agency said, "While we are proceeding with legal procedures, we will continue our broadcasting activities as planned."
Fans have sent messages of support, saying, "We hope the misunderstanding will be cleared up," and "We support a firm response."
