Accuser admits faking sexual misconduct claims against actor Lee Yi Kyung using AI

An individual who accused South Korean actor Lee Yi Kyung of sexual misconduct has confessed that the lewd text messages used in the accusation were fabricated using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The accuser, who claimed to be of German descent, stated that the posts were initially made for amusement and that they gradually began to believe the fabricated content was real as they created it.

Screenshots of the fake text messages, which allegedly asked for sexual favors, had been circulated on social media after being posted in an online community.

Lee Yi Kyung's agency, Sangyoung ENT, has announced its intention to pursue legal action against those spreading false information and malicious rumors about the actor.

The agency emphasized that both the creation and reckless distribution of such content are subject to legal action and warned against causing unnecessary harm.
