Lee Byung Hun Received Blackmail from a Rookie Singer, Perpetrators Caught and Arrested
BH Entertainment, actor Lee Byung Hun‘s agency, revealed that the actor has received blackmail threatening to release his personal information.
On September 1, BH Entertainment released a statement saying, “On August 28 Lee Byung Hun received blackmail threatening to release his personal information if he didn’t pay billions of won. Although ridiculous demands and threats are often sent to celebrities, as his agency we thought this was not right and promptly reported this to the authorities.”
According to Bh Entertainment, after receiving the blackmail, Lee Byung Hun alerted his agency, who reported this to the authorities. The perpetrators were caught and arrested early in the morning on September 1. Although the case is currently under investigation, it was revealed that the perpetrators were two women who were connected through a mutual friend.
A representative of the Gangnam Police Station revealed more facts about the case. The blackmailers are two women, age 21 and 25, who threatened Lee Byung Hun with a smart phone recording of the actor saying obscenities. The women had recorded this scene last month when they were having drinks with the actor at his house. They threatened that they would release the video on the internet if the actor did not pay them 5 billion won (roughly 4.9 million dollars). The younger of the two women was also revealed to a rookie singer who had already debuted.
GLAM’s Dahee Revealed to be One of Lee Byung Hun’s Blackmailers
Local news source Sports World has revealed that one of the females charged with blackmailing actor Lee Byung Hun is none other than Dahee of the girl group GLAM.
GLAM debuted in 2012 with the single “Party (XXO).” Member Dahee starred in the 2013 Mnet music drama, “Monstar,” as Kim Nana.
Sports World reports that according to police, Dahee met Lee Byung Hyun with her model friend through introductions by acquaintances. Later, she and her friend threatened Lee Byung Hun with a secretly filmed video, demanding five million KRW (roughly 4.9 million USD). She and her friend were arrested on September 1 after Lee Byung Hun reported the crime to police on August 28.
GLAM’s management agency, Big Hit Entertainment, acknowledged that Dahee was involved in the case, but, it stated, “Currently, we are unable to contact her. Since it is a personal matter, we don’t really know the details.”

Date: 2014-09-02 08:42 am (UTC)awww maaan, i really like glam. oh well, 2014 was gonna show up my nugu faves sooner or later i suppose. shame the other girls are going to have to face the group going under because of this.
i wonder if it was really just 'obscenities' on the video? I'm probably missing a culture thing but just plain obscenities doesn't seem like much to blackmail over, unless idk, it was something really offensive/something-ist.

Date: 2014-09-02 09:39 am (UTC)Two women try to blackmail a male in the entertainment industry, get arrested merely days later.
Male in the entertainment industry brutally attacks and assaults his girlfriend repeatedly over the span of several months, is allowed to continue promotions, visiting other countries, and will likely escape scot-free.
Hmmmmm.
