Lee Sun Kyun death: Parasite actor's blackmailer was desperate for money for THIS reason

Lee Sun Kyun, best known for his role in Parasite, was found dead in his car on December 27 in Seoul. On January 5, Caracula Crime Lab, a YouTube channel, posted a video interviewing a fraud victim of 'A.' According to the video, 'A' was on trial for fraud and needed money because she had broken off contact with her biological father. In other words, she threatened Lee Sun Kyun with the money from her settlement.

What did the victim of A's fraud say?

The victim of A's fraud said in a statement as per allkpop, "'A' scammed me out of more than 91.5 million won. She borrowed money under the guise of business investment and threatened me. She threatened that if she went to jail, she would not be able to pay me back. 'A' asked me to settle for 20 million won first. She said she would pay back the rest of the money eventually."

What are the extortion details?

Former actress 'A' allegedly demanded 200 million KRW from Lee Sun Kyun, threatening him and ultimately extorting 50 million KRW. Despite no personal connection, 'A' made threats related to 'B' and demanded money, allkpop reported.

On the other hand, 'B' is accused of extorting 300 million KRW from Lee Sun Kyun by claiming an anonymous hacker was threatening to expose their relationship.

'A' attended a detention hearing and was subsequently arrested while accompanied by her infant. 'B' is already facing drug-related charges and is now also accused of extortion.

Both individuals met after being released from prison due to past convictions. Their relationship deteriorated over time, culminating in a confrontation where 'A' reported 'B' for drug use to the authorities.

Police suspect 'A' reported 'B' as a form of revenge after failing to extort the intended 300 million KRW from Lee Sun Kyun. This action was seen as a means to gain leverage.
