The controversy surrounding actor Lee Yi-kyung has deepened as revelations emerge about the German woman who exposed his private life. According to journalist-turned-YouTuber Lee Jin-ho, the woman, referred to as A, resides in Germany and works for a local company. She reportedly has no history of studying or living long-term in Korea.
Lee Jin-ho revealed that A followed numerous well-known Korean male celebrities and handsome influencers, sending some of them sexually explicit messages and provocative photos. According to the report, she allegedly sent videos depicting sexual activity and suggestive images to a male influencer, sometimes flirting with phrases such as, “Am I sexier? I’ll show you if we meet,” or using veiled expressions like “I want to go eat ramen.”
In one particularly shocking claim, A reportedly sent a photo of dogs mating, which was described as bordering on sexual harassment. Multiple sources confirmed that she attempted to contact several Korean men simultaneously with sexual messages, showing an excessive preference for Korean males.
The scandal has taken a severe toll on Lee Yi-kyung, who reportedly suffers extreme mental distress, particularly after withdrawing from a program he was actively participating in. His agency submitted a complaint against A to the program producers, but Lee Yi-kyung received only a unilateral notice of withdrawal.
This controversy traces back to last month when A posted on her blog text messages allegedly exchanged with someone presumed to be Lee Yi-kyung. The messages included sexual content such as inquiries about chest size and sexually suggestive phrases. A initially claimed the messages were fabricated but later reversed her statement, insisting all evidence was genuine.
Despite denying that she used AI-generated photos, A deleted all posts and ceased her SNS activity after Lee Jin-ho obtained her German social media accounts. Currently, Lee Yi-kyung’s agency has filed a defamation lawsuit against her, though it remains uncertain whether German authorities will pursue charges for defamation or intimidation.
The case continues to unfold, highlighting the challenges of cross-border legal actions in celebrity scandals and raising questions about privacy, harassment, and accountability in the digital age.
