On the 30th, YouTuber Karakula posted the face photo and real name of the woman in her 20s, identified as Ms. A, on the community section of his YouTube channel 'Karakula Crime Research Institute.' In the post, he said, "We are waiting for reports from people who have been victims of fraud, threats, and honey traps by Ms. A (born in 1995, from Wonju), a single mother who lives in the same apartment as the madam of an entertainment establishment and claims to be a hacker, as well as from those who have witnessed child abuse." Karakula uploaded three unblurred photos of Ms. A’s face. Karakula is a YouTuber known for revealing the identities of violent criminals involved in cases such as the Busan spinning kick incident, the Gangnam Rolls-Royce incident, and the Daejeon rental fraud case.


Karakula tagged the post with hashtags such as 'single mother,' 'baby shield,' and 'threatening woman.' Based on this, it is presumed that Ms. A mentioned is the woman in her 20s who was arrested on the 28th on charges of extorting money from Lee Seon-gyun through threats. At that time, Ms. A sparked another controversy by attending the warrant hearing holding her young child. Ms. A has a prior conviction for fraud and is known to have maintained a close relationship with Mr. B, a manager of an entertainment establishment, whom she met in prison and lived in the apartment above him.

Earlier, Lee Seon-gyun filed a complaint against Ms. A and Mr. B on charges of extortion, stating, "I was threatened in connection with this case and extorted of 350 million won." It is reported that Lee urgently raised cash through acquaintances and gave 300 million won to Mr. B and 50 million won to Ms. A. Mr. B claimed, "I was threatened via social networking services (SNS) by someone suspicious of my relationship with Lee, but I do not know who the person threatening me is." Ms. A went into hiding after failing to appear at the warrant hearing on the 26th, following the request for a pre-arrest warrant while she had not yet been detained by the police, but was caught by the police the next day.


On the 28th, Kukmin Ilbo reported that Ms. A, a former actress, defrauded and extorted money from several men she met through a club app mainly used by office workers in their 20s and 30s. Ms. A obtained money from men by claiming, "I am pregnant and need money for an abortion," and "The baby needs hospital treatment to be born safely."



There are at least five male victims, each extorted from a few million won to tens of millions of won. Ms. A is known to have given birth in January. One of the victims doubted her story and conducted a paternity test, which showed that he was not the biological father. Accordingly, some victims have hired lawyers and plan to file fraud charges against Ms. A soon.
