It was deleted and then uploaded again, and the deleted text really threw the online into chaos.
The controversy began on the 20th when netizen A, who identified himself as a German woman, released a capture of the conversation on social media and blogs, saying, `I had a private conversation with Lee Kyung.'
Mr. A claimed that Lee Yi-kyung used sexual comments and inappropriate expressions in conversations he had with him, adding that "I disclose to reveal the truth."
Since then, the revelations have spread rapidly, and some communities have even formed an atmosphere of confidence that the conversation is true.
However, the post was deleted in just a few hours.
Shortly after that, Lee Yi-kyung's agency, Screening ENT, made an official statement, saying, `The content spread online is false, and legal action is being prepared for the spread of false information and malicious rumors.'
The agency also added "This is not the first time the revelation has been made. Several months ago, there was a threatening attempt to demand money, and the author admitted it was false and even sent an apology e-mail" he said.
After Lee Yi-kyung's announcement of her position, online public opinion seemed to calm down somewhat.
However, only a day later, on the 21st, the situation was reversed again.
Mr. A disclosed his SNS main account and "There was no money request. My purpose is to expose the character of actor Lee Yi-kyung."
He went on to reveal additional videos of Lee Yi-kyung's SNS account sending messages, saying "The deleted text went down to the agency's report."
However, the video was also deleted within hours.
Mr. A explained that "It went down due to reports from other users", but doubts were raised among Internet users that "The video was manipulated".
In particular, as AI synthesis technology has become more common recently, objections such as "Isn't both capture and video manipulated by artificial intelligence" have continued, and the battle for authenticity has entered a more complex phase.
Currently, Lee Yi-kyung is on MBC 'What do you do when you play?', He has appeared in various entertainment programs such as tvN 'Handsome Guys', ENA·SBS Plus 'I'm Solo', 'Getting and Roasting Journey', and E-Channel 'Brave Detectives4'.
Recently, KBS 2TV 'Superman is backThe broadcasting industry is also closely monitoring the situation as it has been confirmed to join '.
Each program production team has so far trusted the agency's official position and has not taken any action"Unless there is a response change from the performer, there will be no change in the organization."
Eventually, the controversy over privacy, which has been overturned three times in a day, has gone beyond simple revelations to a battle between 'truth' and 'manipulation'.
The direction of the controversy is expected to be determined by whether Lee Yi-kyung will respond further and the actions of the revelers.
