On the afternoon of December 27th, MBC announcer Lee Sun-young made a long post on her social media account, saying, “We don’t know how the deceased felt when making the extreme choice, but I want to point fingers at KBS’s exclusive report.”
Lee Sun-young then added, “His secret conversation through a phone call with the head of the adult entertainment establishment (was revealed through that report). We can individually criticize the deceased’s actions. However, I don’t know what was the purpose of reporting the recording, other than trying to steal someone’s life. The sword, used in the name of the report, was not only aimed at the late Lee Sun-kyun, but also at his wife and children, who are victims. The recording will stay permanently in the digital age, making it difficult to for them heal forever.”
Finally, she said, “The deceased’s choice was a bad one. I’m worried about the family members left behind. I just hope that people around him will lead a protected life. I used to like his acting. Rest in peace,” in memory of Lee Sun-kyun.
The “KBS’s exclusive report” that Lee Sun-young said is KBS 1TV’s “KBS News 9” broadcast on the afternoon of November 24th. This report revealed a secret recording of Lee Sun-kyun’s phone call with the manager of an adult entertainment establishment, which exposed him using drugs, cheating on his wife and being threatened.
Meanwhile, Lee Sun-kyun, who had been under police investigation for drug use, was found dead in a car parked on a street near Waryong Park in central Seoul in the morning of December 27. He was 48 years old.
