Mr. A restored his X (old Twitter) account, which had been deleted on the 23rd, and "I don't want you to contact me by e-mail or any way even if my personal information is in the profile."I didn't get paid or threatened. That's all I have to say. Thank you for your understanding."
When a netizen left a comment saying "I couldn't say I got the money", A directly refuted "I didn't get it".
Earlier on the 20th, Mr. A released a post on his personal blog, saying that it was the content and photo of his sexual conversation with Lee Yi-kyung. The post sparked controversy over what appeared to be demands for body photographs, abusive language, and sexual harassment.
In response, Lee Yi-kyung's agency, Screening ENT, told Sports Chosun that there had been threats regarding the incident for several months. This is a clear false fact, and the parties have since apologized. But suddenly, this comment came up today" he said.
He responded by saying in his official position, "'We are preparing legal action by calculating the amount of damage caused by the spread of false posts.'"
On the other hand, Mr. A identified himself as a 'German woman' and "I'm not doing this for money. Collecting evidence," he said, heralding further revelations. He also posted a rebuttal, saying "The agency's claims are false," and posted a post claiming that it was a video of Lee Yi-kyung's SNS account authentication.
However, on the 22nd, a day later, he suddenly changed his position and posted on his X account, "At first, I didn't know that an article that started as a joke would receive so much attention. I think I felt more and more real while using AI pictures," he said in a letter of apology.
Then "I feel guilty that what I started with fan sentiment spreads like a malicious rumor. If there's something I need to take responsibility for, I'll take responsibility for it", and Mr. A blew up the X account.
A day later, on the 23rd, he restored his X account again and explained that he did not receive the money, and there are also growing voices online doubting A's sincerity over his frequent reversal of position and remarks.
