We previously reported that Lee was discovered deceased inside his vehicle on Wednesday, following what appears to be suicide. According to his lawyer, Lee had been facing intense scrutiny from law enforcement due to allegations involving a scheme where he was deceived into consuming marijuana and subsequently blackmailed by two individuals, a man, and a woman.

Attorneys for Lee claim he pleaded with detectives in Incheon, a Seoul suburb, not to disclose the inquiry after detaining and interrogating him for nearly 19 hours last week.
