Friend Spreads Rumors Because of Envy, Lee Shin Young, Actor of 'Crash Landing on You', Doesn't Stay Silent

Kapanlagi.com - The success of the drama Crash Landing on You has brought popularity to its actors and actresses. One of them is Lee Shin Young, who plays the handsome soldier Kwang Beom, a subordinate of Captain Ri Jeong Hyeok (played by Hyun Bin).

Unfortunately, amidst the rising popularity, Lee Shin Young was involved in some unpleasant rumors. There was a post stating that Lee Shin Young used to bully others when he was in middle school.

The person who made the post claimed to be a school friend, whom we will refer to as A. But after many people defended Lee Shin Young, A said that the statement he made might be false.

1. Spread Rumors Out of Jealousy

After remaining silent before, Lee Shin Young's agency, Forest Entertainment, has issued a statement regarding the rumors. As reported by Soompi, they have reported to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office about A, who has spread false rumors and information about Lee Shin Young.

The agency stated that A has admitted to spreading rumors with the intention of defaming Lee Shin Young out of jealousy. A has also explained the misunderstanding, apologized, and begged for forgiveness, and voluntarily deleted their posts. Lee Shin Young felt that A was sincere and forgave them, even though he was harmed by these baseless rumors.

2. A Attempts Extortion

Unfortunately, A has once again caused trouble by extorting Lee Shin Young's father. "I wrote an apology letter without receiving any money. I was thinking of exposing everything on a forum. If you have no intention of making a deal with me, don't contact me. I'll be waiting at the station," said A.

Receiving this threat, which threatens Lee Shin Young's image, has traumatized the actor. Not only that, but the advertising contract he almost obtained has been canceled.

3. Agensi Tak Tinggal Diam

As a result of this incident, Forest Entertainment reported A again for continuously spreading rumors and extorting money, even though they were initially forgiven. Their hope with this report is that A will become more mature and not repeat the mistake.

"We declare that we will take legal action without tolerance against anyone who spreads false rumors and hurts our actors," said Forest Entertainment.
