While the text message between Lee Byung-hun and Lee Ji-yun, the so-called victim and blackmailer, has been revealed, Lee Ji-yun's parents had an interview in defense of their daughter.

Dispatch revealed text messages between Lee Byung-hun and Lee Ji-yun throughout the number of five times, claiming that they've met in person. According to the report the contents of the text involved comments like, "Is tomorrow going to be romantic?" and "In my head, romantic is you and that will be success". Which leads to the conclusion that they could have been dating.

Previously, model Lee Ji-yun and Kim Si-won-III, a member of a girl group threatened Lee Byung-hun of money in return for a recording of his obscene doings. They were arrested in September and in the third trial held in December, the court sentenced them to 3 years in prison.

BH Entertainment claims, "We are sorry about the errors in media reports that were released without confirmation. We plan on finding out the source of the leak and dealing with it forcefully before the trial comes to a decision".

Women's magazine Woman Sense interviewed Lee Ji-yun's parents in the January issue. They claimed not guilty and said, "Although we admit that blackmailing this man was the wrong thing to do, we know that she is not a fraud".

"There was a rumor about Ji-yun being too poor resulting in the crime but that's ridiculous. We aren't that well-off but we've never been poor. We've been supporting her every month with money. Rumors also said her father was struggling with cancer but that's not entirely true. He did get cancer treatments in the early stages of it but it's not something for Ji-yun to worry about".

Lee Ji-yun's uncle also said, "Her father has enough wealth. He has two building under his name and even an orchard. I am his real estate dealer so I can't be lying".

They also claim not guilty to the rumor that Lee Ji-yun had tried to run. In fact, BH Entertainment announced, "Planning ahead a crime and purchasing tickets to Europe, carefully laying out the plan to steal from another is an obvious crime".

Her parents claimed, "We go abroad with Ji-yun every year. We went to Turkey last year and this year we were going to go to Europe. She'd been searching for tickets. If she'd tried to run away, she would've looked for tickets to South East Asia and China where the police wouldn't find her easily".

They also added that while they acknowledge what their daughter did was wrong, they don't understand how Lee Byung-hun could've gone to the police right away when she had just said that out of anger.
