[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Lee Geun (36), a former Navy Special Warfare Unit (UDT/SEAL) reserve captain, who has been embroiled in controversy over allegations including a sexual harassment trial record, showed an indifferent attitude toward the surrounding controversies, saying, "You will come to dislike me even more."

On the 26th, Lee posted on his Instagram, "Three reasons why people hate you. They hate themselves. They want to be you. They see you as a threat," expressing this sentiment.

He also posted a photo of himself in a Halloween Joker costume with the caption, "Why so serious?"

Earlier, it was confirmed that Lee was sued by the Republic of Korea Navy for "recovery of disbursed expenses." The YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute (Gaseyeon) claimed on the 24th in a video titled "Fake Men Musat Lee Geun's New Lies! Ministry of National Defense-Navy Official Confirmation!" that Lee was being sued by the Navy.

Meanwhile, Lee gained fame by appearing on the YouTube entertainment show "Fake Men." However, he faced public backlash due to a series of controversies including debt issues, a criminal record for sexual offenses, and allegations of false UN work experience.
