Who are Kim Nam-hee and Park who blackmailed and extorted money from actor Lee Sun-kyun
Allegations suggest that a woman in her twenties engaged in similar activities with other individuals, specifically extorting 50 million KRW (approximately 38,624 USD) from the late actor Lee Sun-kyun.
Investigation Revealed 2 Women Blackmailing Lee Sun-kyun
According to Kukmin Ilbo’s media investigation, the accused woman, identified as ‘A,’ employed deceptive tactics on a dating app, fabricating stories about pregnancy or medical emergencies to extract money from unsuspecting men.
She is implicated in coercing individuals to transfer varying amounts, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, another woman named Kim Nam-hee allegedly extorted 350 million KRW ($269,231) from Lee Sun-kyun and vanished.
Media reports indicate that Kim Nam-hee and ‘A’ were roommates. Despite initial doubts, one individual conducted a paternity test that disproved the allegations against him.
‘A,’ aged 28, evaded court proceedings related to extortion and blackmail charges, prompting the issuance of an arrest warrant by the Incheon Police Agency’s Metropolitan Investigation Unit.
The identity of the woman who blackmailed the late actor Lee Sun-kyun (48 years old) for 50 million won, and who had left this world while under investigation for drug use, has been disclosed.

Significantly, ‘A’ is linked not only to the exposure of Lee Sun-kyun’s private life but also to intimidating him with force due to his association with a celebrity named Kim. The actor, who took his own life amid a drug investigation, was reportedly blackmailed by this woman in her twenties.
An online account, @KidNqv, disclosed information about the accused woman, identified as Ms. Park, providing screenshots of her conversations with the late actor.
According to the account, Ms. Park, a 1995 native of Wonju and a single mother residing in the same apartment complex as Ms. Kim, threatened extortion by posing as a hacker.
Allegedly, she blackmailed Kim Nam-hee for 350 million KRW ($269,231) and subsequently targeted Lee Sun-kyun for 50 million KRW, threatening to expose their conversations.
In her communications via Kakaotalk, Park conveyed her intentions:
“I’ve wasted too much time with Ms. Kim, a drug addict, and I will catch her. I’ll also take the money back. Recover the entire amount given to Ms. Kim… If everything goes smoothly, I won’t contact you anymore, and it will be concluded.”
Park continued her blackmail by warning Lee Sun-kyun of releasing an incriminating recording from Ms. Kim’s phone, highlighting drug use and character erosion.
South Korean media later reported that Park used false pregnancy allegations to extort money from multiple individuals, with at least five men falling victim to this scheme.
As of December 27, 2023, ‘A’ (Park) had an arrest warrant issued against her for suspicion of blackmail and extortion by the Incheon Police Agency.
On the previous day, she failed to appear at her scheduled court appearance at the Incheon District Court, where she was already under a pre-arrest warrant, offering no explanation for her absence.
Lee Sun-kyun Wife & Children
The controversy surrounding Lee Sun-kyun has not only brought scrutiny to him, his wife, and their two children due to his extramarital affair but has also revealed financial challenges.
Despite his fame, Lee Sun-kyun’s financial situation was not as affluent as perceived, and his wife, actress Jeon Hye-jin, managed the family funds. The late actor borrowed 350 million KRW ($269,231) from close friends and family, unbeknownst to his wife and colleagues until the news broke.
Jeon Hye-jin, who had a positive relationship with Lee, had to contend with the aftermath of his alleged drug usage, leading to the withdrawal of brand partnerships and business associations in October 2023.
Facing financial repercussions, Jeon Hye-jin sold their Nonhyeon, Gangnam house for 15 billion KRW ($11.6 million USD) to mitigate the consequences outlined in Lee Sun-kyun’s suicide note, estimating losses of around 10 billion KRW ($7.7 million USD).
Lee Sun-kyun’s death on December 27, 2023, marked the peak of the tragedy when his lifeless body was discovered inside a parked vehicle near Waryong Park.
