BH Entertainment reported on the 1st, "On August 28th, Lee Byung-hun was threatened that a private video would be released if he didn't pay money to the culprit. Celebrities have to deal with ridiculous matters such as this all the time, but we decided to make a police report about it for this particular matter".

Lee Byung-hun let his management know of what happened and reported it to the police. The women were caught on the 1st. The investigation is ongoing and it turns out they are friends of a friend. They admitted to threatening him and nothing else came out when they searched their homes.

BH Entertainment said, "They abused the fact that Lee is a famous celebrity and that many people want to know more about him. This is a spiteful crime and Lee is only cooperating to prove facts that need to be acknowledged as crime. Therefore, we hope no exaggerated or untruthful facts be reported. If false or privacy infringed reports are made, we will deal with it by law for the sake of our artist".
