Actor Lee Yi-kyung Faces Private Life Rumors

Actor Lee Yi-kyung is facing personal life controversy after a claimed to be German woman posted Instagram DM screenshots alleging sexual conversations and even sexual assault threats. She said she gathered evidence out of fear to expose him. Lee’s agency, SANGYOUNG ENT, strongly denied the accusations, stating they are preparing legal action for defamation and malicious rumor-spreading. They also claimed this wasn’t the first time the accuser contacted them—she allegedly demanded money months ago and later apologized, but similar claims have now resurfaced. The original blog post was deleted, but the female reposted the claims on X (formerly Twitter), along with a screen recording. She denies ever asking for money. Lee is currently active on several TV shows, including Hangout With Yoo and The Return of Superman. Broadcasters are monitoring the situation, and no changes to programming are planned unless the agency’s stance changes.
