Actor Lee Yi-kyung will appear as a special DJ on SBS PowerFM's "Escape at 2 O'Clock Cultwo Show." On the 7th, the broadcaster's official SNS posted news of special DJ appearances by Lee Yi-kyung and Kwon Hyuk-soo. The production team stated, "Next week is a special DJ festival. Kwon Hyuk-soo returns after a long time, and the familiar face Lee Yi-kyung joins us. Enjoy their hosting through real-time listening and watching the radio." Lee Yi-kyung is scheduled to serve as a special DJ on the broadcast on the 12th.

Last October, Lee Yi-kyung became embroiled in a personal life rumor following revelations by a woman identified as A, who claimed to be German. A released conversation content with Lee Yi-kyung, alleging they had sexual conversations, which escalated the controversy. Later, A retracted her claims, stating that the photos and texts used in the revelations were manipulated by artificial intelligence (AI). Lee Yi-kyung's agency, Sangyoung ENT, announced, "We are preparing legal action against the damage caused by the spread of false information and malicious rumors."

Regarding this incident, Lee Yi-kyung said, "I visited the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul and gave a statement as a complainant. I conveyed my position on the rumors and completed the complaint procedure for defamation caused by threats and false information." He expressed his unjust feelings and announced a strong response.

A claimed that there were expressions implying sexual assault in the conversation with Lee Yi-kyung and emphasized that her revelations were intended to expose Lee Yi-kyung's character, not for money. Lee Yi-kyung's side disclosed reports about A and stated, "There is no agreement whatsoever." Lee Yi-kyung showed strong determination, saying, "Even if she is German, I will go to Germany and file a lawsuit."

A claimed that the conversation with Lee Yi-kyung initially had good feelings but the messages gradually became more explicit. On December 12, she took a strong step by releasing the initial messages. On December 31 of last year, she continued the revelations by releasing screenshots and photos presumed to be from Lee Yi-kyung's KakaoTalk profile.

After winning the "AAA Best Choice" category at the 10th Asia Artist Awards 2025, Lee Yi-kyung expressed confidence, saying, "The suspect is currently sending apologies and requests for leniency via the company email. I feel like I will definitely catch them." However, due to this incident, he withdrew from the show "Hangout with Yoo." He continued activities without leaving shows like "I Am Solo," "Spicy Travel," and "Brave Detectives," but had no additional variety show appearances.

Through this special DJ appearance, Lee Yi-kyung will have an opportunity to reconnect with the public. SBS PowerFM's "Escape at 2 O'Clock Cultwo Show" airs every week from 2 PM to 4 PM. Lee Yi-kyung's special DJ appearance is attracting attention as his first official activity following the personal life rumors.
