A source close to Lee Min Jung said that the actress flew to Paris to attend a friends' wedding ceremony, but decided to stay longer when news about Lee Byung Hun's scandal broke out. Despite having already come home, it seems that the actress is still having difficulties coping up with the stressful situation as she was reported to have suffered indigestion while filming a CF on September 17. Because of this, Lee Min Jung decided to move to her parents' home to get more rest.

Lee Min Jung's agency, S Team Entertainment, remains mum on the issue, saying that the actress has nothing to comment on the controversy.

Many fans' have come to Lee Min Jung's defense and have shown their distaste in Lee Byung Hun's behaviour.

Aside from reports saying Lee Byung Hun went drinking with two younger women and having indecent conversations with them, it was also rumoured that model Lee Ji Yeon, one of the perpetrators to the blackmail, allegedly had a three-month relationship with the actor. The supposed breakup between the two caused Lee Ji Yeon to blackmail the actor with the video.

Lee Byung Hun has firmly denied such claims, although he admits to have had dinner with Lee Ji Yeon on one occasion back in June. The actor's camp also speculates that this is just one of Lee Ji Yeon's strategy to reduce the penalties to be imposed on her for blackmail.
