(Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Son Hyun-gyu = A woman in her 20s who was arrested for threatening actor Lee Seon-gyun (48, male) and extorting 50 million won from her, handed over evidence of his drug use to the police after falling out with the female manager of an entertainment establishment with whom she was close. Confirmed as an informant.
According to the legal community on the 1st, A (28, female), who was recently arrested on charges of extortion and attempted extortion, reported to the police the suspicion of drug use by B (29, female), the manager of an entertainment establishment, in October last year.
Mr. A, who had previously been sentenced to prison for fraud, first met Mr. B, a six-time drug offender, in prison, and later became close friends while living above his officetel.

It was confirmed that Mr. A went directly to the Incheon Police Agency’s drug crime investigation office and provided evidence such as Mr. B’s hair.
Ultimately, Mr. B was arrested by the police on October 18 last year due to a decisive tip from Mr. A, and was detained three days later.
Mr. A is also accused of threatening to demand 200 million won from Mr. Lee around the same time, ultimately receiving 50 million won.
At the time, Mr. A was completely unfamiliar with Mr. Lee. When he found out the contact information and threatened Mr. Lee, he said, “I’m going to arrest Mr. B (who took drugs), and I need to get money, too.” He added, “Let’s recover all the money given to Mr. B and end with 200 million won (to give to me).” He said.
Mr. Lee’s side suspected that Mr. A and Mr. B had conspired in the blackmail case.
This is because in September of last year, he first handed 300 million won to Mr. B after hearing, “An unknown hacker is trying to expose our relationship. I think we will have to use money to stop him.”
However, the police believe that Mr. A and Mr. B did not work together to threaten Mr. Lee.
In addition, it is believed that financial issues and Mr. Lee’s threats were behind the fact that Mr. A reported Mr. B, whom he had always called her sister and was very close with, to the police as a drug user.
There was a conflict between the two over money, and it is suspected that Mr. A calculated that if the police arrested Mr. B, the incident in which he threatened Mr. Lee would also be buried.
The police suspect that the person who threatened Mr. B is Mr. A, but are investigating without completely ruling out the possibility that there is another blackmailer.
A police official said, “Because the investigation is still ongoing, we cannot reveal specific details,” but added, “Even though Mr. Lee has died, we plan to continue investigating the extortion case.”
