New Evidence Revealed, Lee Sun Kyun Allegedly a Victim of Extortion until Death

The death of Lee Sun Kyun, a top Korean actor in late December, still leaves many questions. The latest, Dispatch revealed some new evidence suggesting that Lee Sun Kyun was a victim of threats.

A report published on Sunday (31/12) revealed that Lee Sun Kyun was allegedly a victim of threats and extortion for 105 days. This is longer than the drug case that involved him, which lasted only 71 days.

It is mentioned that on October 18, 2023, Kim, an entertainment company madam, was arrested. She has a record of six previous drug convictions. With such a heavy record, Kim tried to get leniency by mentioning the names of others involved.

The Incheon Police Narcotics Crime Investigation Division then submitted a progress report on this case in order to investigate the drug use incident involving famous artists and top entertainment company employees in Gangnam.

The Incheon Police rushed to compile the report without proper internal investigation. The circulating information was exaggerated without verified data. A day after the report was made, an article was published in the Gyeonggi Sinmun newspaper, the first article related to the drug case.

Although the article does not directly mention Lee Sun Kyun's name, the title details that the names included a famous celebrity. Dispatch shows how quickly information about the investigation leaked to the media, just one day after the submission of the case progress report.

KBS published a news report featuring a conversation recording between Lee Sun Kyun and Kim. How are they connected? Dispatch explained that Kim targeted Lee Sun Kyun because he worked with two anonymous accomplices, Lee (Kim's coworker) and Shin (Lee's girlfriend).

Shin knows that her boyfriend is a drug user and threatened Kim to report Lee to the police. She eventually reported him to the Incheon police. Kim intended to silence Shin with money, initially targeting a wealthy artist named Jeon with extortion tactics but failed. Lee Sun Kyun became the next target even though Kim knew that Lee Sun Kyun had no connection to drugs.

KakaoTalk Dispatch conversation revealed between Kim and his accomplice, Park, where they came up with the idea to carry out extortion, one of which was directed towards Lee Sun Kyun. Dispatch mentioned that Kim sent a message to Sun Kyun and demanded a ransom of 300 million Won because Jang Da Eun had a recording of the conversation between Kim and Sun Kyun. Kim stated that Da Eun, who has hacking skills, threatened to spread it.

As revealed by Dispatch, Kim pressured Sun Kyung by mentioning that with 300 million Won, Sun Kyung no longer needs to worry and is free from threats. At the same time, Kim spread rumors to his acquaintances that Sun Kyung is a scoundrel for refusing to give him 300 million Won.

When contacted by Sun Kyun, Kim always expressed that Sun Kyun didn't need to worry about hackers or cyber attacks. Kim also assured Sun Kyun that he didn't have any specific data that would be used as a threat.

After receiving the ransom money, Kim reportedly told the police to lighten Lee Sun Kyun's punishment. However, unfortunately, before the investigation began, news about Lee Sun Kyun leaked to the media.
