The Lee Byung-hun scandal deepens:
However, the 22-year-old Kwon, who majored in rhythmic gymnastics at York University in Canada, is intensifying her claims against the “GI Joe” and “Iris” star.
Claiming that she has hundreds of photographs she took with Lee, she sent e-mails containing photos to the media Sunday, saying she could release more photos to prove that they were indeed in a romantic relationship.
So, when does she start talking to “News of the World”?
Coincidentally, Mrs. Marmot and I watched “GI Joe” the other night, and I was actually quite impressed with Lee’s performance. Not Oscar material, obviously, but it didn’t suck, either, and his English was quite good.

Someone over at the KT comment board assumes it is this woman:
Diana Kwon
They posted her email address on that site… regrettable since the crazy netizens here are going to slap her down hard, I suspect.
“Kwon has charged that Lee lured her into a sexual relationship under the pretense of marriage, and is seeking 100 million won ($85,000) in damages.”
BITCH, PLEASE!
It’s also known as dating.
Someone at one of the Korean Wave sites made an interesting point. This gal gave up a year of college on Lee’s supposed promises to wed her… so perhaps she should be paid for a year of wasted life. How do you value that? The income of one year? Income plus monetary value for a wasted year? Hell, I’m sure a lot of couples have put things on hold over the promise of marriage…
Maybe this Korean Canadian had a lawyer friend or something… “Hey girl friend, I can’t believe he broke-up with you! Why don’t you sue his ass?!?!”
Hummm…. she is “athletic,” just like thekorean likes ‘em…
She got to screw arguably the biggest male star in korean entertainment right now. I believe that more than makes up for 1 year loss of Canadian higher education.
What does Yuna say?… hehehe…
Well, I give Lee this — at least he wasn’t banging the pancake waitress.
Naww, us korean men, we don’t know nothin about gettin all freaky and shit.
Speak for yourself JW…
i say all the people who were berating pawi about not knowing about how it is in korea when the tiger scandal broke loose should be interested in how this pans out.
and poor leebyunghun isn’t even a fair comparison. would have thought that tiger woods scandal comparable to leeseungyup having an affair with 13 karaoke girls while his wife was giving birth or something (and none of these korean jaebuls with concubines comparison shit)
her side posted the pictures i think as evidence and divulged her identity..
she might have fallen into some bad company (apparently 2byunghun’s side got many phone calls previous to this from men blackmailing him)
at least she’s pretty and talented, looks like. and i also heard that female gymnasts can do all sorts of crazy bendy tricks…
in hollywood, bad publicity might be good publicity. in korewood, bad publicity is just bad publicity still.
She’s already missed that gravy train; the Constititutional Court invalidated the relevant law just recently.
Why is this a “scandal?” Boy meets girl. They date. Boy and girl break up. Tough shit, game over.
The sex under the pretenses of promising marriage law is no more. What’s the story here? Lee has a pissed off ex-gf? She wants to release pics to prove they had a relationship? So what? She needs to fuck off back to Canada with a quickness. And any bad shit she gets from here on out she’s invited upon herself.
yeah and explain why former “victims” of sex scandals in Korea are doing quite well then…
i’m missing how this qualifies as a “scandal”. was the dude married while this was going on?
@14: you’re new, huh?
it’s not a scandal, but what’s a scandal? famous people airing their dirty laundry in any shape or form constitutes as a scandal nowadays.
2BH didn’t hide the relationship with 송혜교, this 22 year old has her heart broken, and is out for revenge even if it means knowing she won’t go any further than dishing some dirt on the star.. and she’s clearly listening to some bad advice..
why i really like 강혜정 and 타블로’s sweet romance. they were bright happy and confident about their relationship from the beginning..
they didn’t hide or deny it like most korean stars do with a lame excuse that it’s the korean public or media’s fault that make them act the way they do..
a female gymnist, eh? Kramer told Jerry:
“Sex like that will MELT YOUR FACE!!!”
and he probably knew what he was talkin’ bout…
“Lee’s supposed promises to wed her… so perhaps she should be paid for a year of wasted life. How do you value that? The income of one year? ”
How much do “rhythm gymnasts” make?
#5,
You got me thinking about what I would have given up while I was a student to be able to “date” some hot actress for a year…Pretty much anything, I would imagine.
Nothin’ but a Gold digger trying to make use of an outdated Korean law coz she’s angry she got dumped. Heck, she’s not even a real Bucket Head; she’s Canadian. Why is this even newsworthy?
Yes, nothing but a Gold digger but let’s leave her nationality from this ‘scandal’.
What’s a “Bucket Head?”
The Netizens are apparently all over the girl:

I’m gonna stick my neck out and take Kwon’s side in this. If she’s right — and that’s a big “if” — and LBH actually promised marriage just to hit it, then the dude’s not only a douche, but deserves to get bitch-slapped for $85k.
The gal may just be devastated, but the mysogyny is pretty thick when everyone just assumes that she’s just looking for revenge and he’s still a helluva guy.

I have no sympathy for a woman who has sex with a man because he promised marriage. Have sex because you want sex. Women who make a sexual investment for possible future gain take a risk just like with any other investment. No marriage license, no legal commitment. Act accordingly.
I was wondering the same thing. The only Bucket Head I know is that freak who played guitar for G ‘n’ R for awhile and who wore a KFC bucket on his head.
And do you support Korea’s laws against adultery as well?
You deserve to be bitch-slapped for $85k for that comment.
Assuming he was not referring to the guitarist, I think the term “Bucket Head,” in this case, corresponds to definition 13 seen here:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=buckethead&page=2
And all these years I thought there wasn’t a racial slur solely for Koreans. Ironically, the Koreans who I’d told this now-debunked “fact” felt as if they’d been passed over or ignored by not having one. Armed with this new slur, I’ll cheer them up.
@ # 25,
Well, you know these 22 year olds… he he he…
Rob @ # 27,
That’s what I thought. Well, if you ask me… I think we should draw a line w/racial slurs…
I think he meant it in a loving and affectionate way, but yes, he should probably reconsider the use of that term. Right, Maekchu?
What’s that sound I hear? Is that an axe being sharpened against a whetstone?
Sonagi, I think you have a thing for men swinging axes.
The only exception would be in scholarly or academic discussions:
Something of that nature.
Did you stumble upon my webpage at Adultism.com? Yikes! I’d forgotten about those pics I uploaded five years ago.
cmm,
Hurry up and post the link before Ms. Showers deletes the page and I have to get it through google cache!
Would gooseboy have anything left to say?
