Woman Arrested In Lee Sun Gyun’s Blackmail Case After Escape Attempt

A lady in her 20s was arrested after trying to flee after blackmailing Lee Sun Gyun for millions of KRW.

Legal sources reported that the Metropolitan Investigation Unit of the Incheon Police Agency issued an arrest order for 28-year-old ‘A,’ for extortion and blackmail on December 27.


The day before, ‘A,’ who had a pre-arrest warrant, inexplicably skipped her Incheon District Court appearance without explanation.


Police began searching for her. They executed the arrest warrant and pre-arrest warrant request. They found and arrested her the same day.

Detained at the Nonyeon Police Station in Incheon, ‘A’ awaits her substantive warrant examination on December 28 at 2:30 PM under the supervision of Incheon District Court chief warrant judge Lee Kyu Hoon.


‘A’ is accused of extorting 50 million KRW (~38,624 USD) from actor Lee Sun Gyun. In October, Lee said that ‘A’ and ‘B,’ a 29-year-old female entertainment manager, extorted him, resulting in a payment of 300 million KRW (~231,745 USD) to ‘B’ and 50 million KRW to ‘A.’ Police are investigating the accusations fully.

Police investigated Lee Sun Gyun for marijuana and psychotropic drug use. He disputed the charges after three police interrogations. Preliminary urine testing, a second hair analysis, and body hair collection all came back negative.


However, Lee Sun Gyun was found unconscious in a Jongno-gu park on December 27, causing tragedy. His death was confirmed later. The funeral is calm, with relatives and coworkers present.
