APRIL's Yoon Chae-kyung Hints at Betrayal Amid Dating Rumors with Badminton Star Lee Yong-dae

Yoon Chae-kyung (윤채경), a former member of the girl group APRIL who has transitioned into acting, was reportedly in a relationship last year with South Korean badminton legend and Olympic gold medalist Lee Yong-dae (이용대). At the time, Korean media reported that the eight-year age gap between them did not hinder their rapidly developing affection. They were said to have intimate interactions and were even introduced as a couple to close friends and family, indicating a serious progression in their relationship.

However, Yoon recently posted a series of cryptic messages on social media, revealing she had been betrayed by "the most trusted person" and was still struggling with the pain. She explicitly stated that "every word" from the person was a lie. Following her posts, Lee was reportedly spotted with an unidentified woman in Itaewon, Seoul. The two were seen dining together and allegedly engaged in intimate physical interactions, leading to speculation about potential changes in their relationship status.

On June 17, Yoon opened a Q&A session on her social media. When asked about her recent status, she unexpectedly shared her feelings: "I was severely betrayed by the person I trusted most in my life, and I still haven't recovered. Although it's hard to believe such a person exists in this world, I have no choice but to accept it."

She continued with a pointed message: "Every word that came out of their mouth was a lie, and they wouldn't even say 'I'm sorry.' It truly shocked me to see such humanity. But someday, all of this will come back to them. Let's all live happier lives."

As Yoon did not reveal the identity of the person, her posts immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens, leading to speculation that she might have experienced romantic betrayal.
