On January 3, it was reported that text messages between sex worker “A” and sex worker “B,” who allegedly extorted the late actor Lee Sun Kyun, showed that the two women were planning on targeting the actor’s wife, Jeon Hye Jin, next.
If you don’t bring ₩200 million KRW (about $153,000 USD) by morning, I am going to message Lee Sun Kyun’s wife. I have already found out Jeon Hye Jin’s number. I hope you make the wise decision.
— “A”
Sex worker “B” then allegedly showed these messages to Lee Sun Kyun as part of their plot to extort the actor. Both sex workers involved in the extortion plot are currently being investigated by police.
Meanwhile, Korea’s entertainment industry remains in mourning after the loss of a generational talent. Lee Sun Kyun, who received international acclaim for his role on Parisite, will forever be missed by his fans and colleagues alike.
