Shocking Twist! Korean Media reveal Lee Sun Kyun is not involved in affair?!
The MBC program "Real Story Exploration Team" aired on the 23rd mentioned the drug scandal involving actor Lee Sun-kyun. The contents of KakaoTalk messages between Lee Sun-kyun and the female manager of an entertainment venue were also revealed. The female manager of an entertainment venue, with six prior instances of drug charges, claimed she was threatened and blackmailed for 100 million Korean won, and had received 350 million Korean won from Lee Sun-kyun. The initial whistleblower, Mr. Bang, who reported the female manager for drug use, said, "Everyone in the entertainment venue knew that Lee Sun-kyun took out the money, he was blackmailed for about 300 million Korean won, Lee Sun-kyun is quite pitiable." Relevant personnel also stated, "In fact, the female manager has the least influence among the top eight, having worked at the store for a long time, and Lee Sun-kyun was just a regular customer. The two got to know each other by drinking together. But it's not certain that the female manager works only at the business location; her activities are completely unrelated to that establishment." Relevant individuals also mentioned the club stating, "This place is not members-only, the price for drinks is very expensive, not just anyone can come here. People think it's very large and extremely luxurious, but there are only 8 rooms, so everything can be controlled. Upon opening the toilet, you'll see that it's blocked with wire mesh, so syringes can't be flushed down." The Korean media once again mentioned Lee Sun-kyun's alleged affair, which seems a bit odd: "Considering the people involved in the incident, the two are not in a romantic relationship, nor does it seem like Lee Sun-kyun is cheating. It's just that a person who has had several encounters with Lee Sun-kyun, regardless, is suspected of drug use, hence Lee Sun-kyun has been designated as a subject of police investigation, possibly due to this risk he is under threat." The female manager's close friend, Kim, has revealed more information, stating that "Around August or September, the female manager was blackmailed due to her involvement with drugs, and later, money was extorted from her using the excuse that [actor] Lee Sun-kyun had been to a nightclub." Additionally, it was mentioned that "Lee Sun-kyun also believes that the female manager had embezzled that sum of money." The program team released the content of the female manager's KakaoTalk, where she was seen laughing with "haha" during the conversation with the blackmailer, suggesting she did not appear to be someone being blackmailed and completely lacked a sense of crisis. When investigated by the police, the female manager said that she had given some of the money to her mother. Upon this, the production team personally visited the female manager's mother. However, her mother stated, "I heard that some of the money was spent during the escape, and some was put away. None was given to me, and I'm not very clear about it."
