Actor Lee Yi-kyung revealed a story of being scammed during a secondhand transaction on the MBC variety show ‘What Do You Do?’. Lee Yi-kyung shared that the buyer requested the house password under the pretext of bringing an installation worker, and believing them, he ended up having all the furniture in the house, including the sofa, stolen. He also mentioned that he broke a tooth due to the anger and stress caused by the incident, sharing the shocking experience. In the broadcast, a scene of Lee Yi-kyung heading to Tokyo, Japan with Yoo Jae-suk was depicted, and while on the move, Lee Yi-kyung opened up by saying, “I’ve been under a lot of minor stress lately.” He explained, “I put up the sofa for sale as I was moving, and the buyer said they would come early to dismantle it with a worker. I gave them the password, and they took everything in the house and cut off contact.” Shocked by the unexpected damage, he expressed regret, mentioning that he even broke a tooth that night due to the incident. Yoo Jae-suk expressed concern, saying, “It’s dangerous to gIVE out the password to an empty house,” while Lee Yi-kyung blamed himself, saying, “I lacked experience. It was my fault for trusting too much.” He further revealed, “I was so angry at being scammed. The emotional impact was greater than the financial loss.” Lee Yi-kyung shared a photo of his actually broken tooth, lightening the mood by saying, “But I got a new tooth.” Despite the unfortunate events, he has been facing, including the recent scam in the secondhand transaction, many have been sending messages of comfort and encouragement to him. Lee Yi-kyung had previously revealed on a show that he had taken out a loan due to being scammed out of hundreds of millions of won.
