”If you don't pay, we'll make it public”... Singer Lee Ji Hoon and Ayane couple are threatened on Kakao Talk

Singer and actor Lee Ji-hoon and his wife received threats demanding money or else they would disclosed personal information.

　On the 13th, Lee Ji-hoon's Japanese wife, Ayane, posted on her SNS, "How should I deal with this kind of thing? (Please tell me with an open mind ^^)" and posted an image of a KakaoTalk chat.

　The published image contains a message that Ayane received from the blackmailer. The blackmailer told Ayane: "Hello, Ayane-san. If you don't make a deposit by 6am today, your husband's and Ayane's mobile phone numbers will be published on all portals" and "Several times several celebrities have made deposits and disappeared quietly, so please think and contact us. (I promise it was only one time)".

　She continued, threatening that if she waited until 6:00 pm and did not hear back, she would make sure to spread the word widely during the musical's run.

　Ayane responded, "Oppa (referring to Lee Ji-hoon), they're going to spread the word (laughs). It's a really good day to change numbers^^" and reacted as if she was in no hurry.

　Lee Ji-hoon and Ayane got married in 2021. Ayane is Japanese, 14 years younger than Lee Ji-hoon, and has been living in South Korea since 2012, graduating from the Department of Politics and Diplomacy at Yonsei University and working for a Korean language communication and translation company.
