In the latest scandal involving the KBS hit action-drama "Iris", Kang Byung-kyu, 37, baseball pitcher-turned TV entertainer, said he is going to sue the producer of the drama for assault and blackmail.
.
Kang was accused of bringing in gangsters and causing a disturbance on the set of Iris in Songpa District, southern Seoul, at around 1 a.m. last Monday. He visited the set to protest to the producer whom Kang claims to have spread the rumor that he was behind the feud between Lee Byung-hun, a star of Iris, and his former girlfriend Kwon Mi-yeon.
Kwon has filed a lawsuit against Lee, saying he lured her into a sexual relationship under the false promises of marriage. Lee has denied the charge and pledged to file a lawsuit of his own, escalating the situation into a nasty legal battle.
Kang went to the police at around noon today for investigation into his alleged disturbance, but citing emotional pressure stemming from the presence of many journalists, he postponed his testimony.
Instead, he held a press conference, where he said it was the producer of Iris that called in the mob. Kang also characterized himself as the victim, claiming he was subject to a beating for about half an hour. He added that he will file the official complaint to the police soon.

Date: 2009-12-21 04:07 pm (UTC)he did this cause PD apparently spread rumors that the Stormshadow-ex-girlfriend legal drama was Kang's fault.
but now Kang is saying that the gangsters were with the PD, and that they (PD and gangsters) beat him (Kang) up.
he was supposed to go to the police to be investigated today, but due to the ~emotional pressure~ of having too many journalists flocking, he couldn't go. I guess that's why there's this news article now?

I mean, I thought the girl was suing LBH on gambling charges. AND NOW THE MOB IS INVOLVED?
Downward spiral Korea. Downward spiral.
ETA: Wait wait wait...so you have "emotional pressure" from holding testimony in front of journalists at a police station but you have no problem holding a PRESS CONFERENCE where there are probably way more journalists?
