Rumors based on Instagram postings have spread during the last few days concerning the alleged attempt to blackmail actor Lee Byung Hun. The rumors focus on an alleged relationship between the actor and one of the two women blackmailers. There is also speculation based on an Instagram posting by Lee Byung Hun's wife, actress Lee Min Jung.

The alleged blackmailers were said to have asked Lee Byung Hun for $5 million or they would reveal video footage of a conversation that he had with them. In this conversation, he reportedly discussed comments of a sexual nature. Lee Byung Hun reported the incident to the police

The two women were later identified as GLAM member and actress Dahee and model Lee Ji Yeon. The women claimed that the blackmail attempt occurred because Lee Byung Hun had a three-month relationship with Lee Ji Yeon and suddenly broke it off. The break-up, they say, prompted her to act emotionally.

Lee Byung Hun denied the relationship, saying the women were merely mutual friends of one of his friends. He said that he met them in June but became wary of their ongoing financial problems and decided not to see them again. He said that he never met Lee Ji Yeon alone.

However, Instagram photos surfaced in the past week that some say support the model's claim to a relationship. They show gifts that were supposedly given to her by the actor. They include a wine bottle from a South American winery he was known to visit and a phone model that he advertised for. Whether the gifts were actually given to her by Lee Byung Hun cannot yet be confirmed. Nor do the photos confirm the nature of their relationship. The account owner does say that every time "Lee Santa' comes over, he brings presents. When asked about the Instagram photos, his agency, BH Entertainment, had no comment. According to TV Daily News, the agency will remain silent on everything related to the police investigation.

Fans were naturally curious as to Lee Min Jung's reaction to this controversy. The "Cunning Single Lady" star married Lee Byung Hun in the summer of 2013. Their lavish celebrity wedding was dubbed the wedding of the year.

Lee Min Jung issued no public statement of support for her husband but she did post a comment on her Instagram account. Alongside a picture of clouds, she wrote "God Only Knows."

This led to more speculation. Does it mean that she is withholding judgment on the scandal until all the facts are in? Or does it refer to the title of a Beach Boys song, which pledges undying love.
