Veteran actress Lee Mi Sook has released a statement following rumors saying she was involved in the controversy that led to actress Jang Ja Yeon's death.
Jang Ja Yeon took her own life in 2009 after preparing a document stating she was forced to participate in sexual relations with publisher officials, executives from corporations and other financial institutions, and media officials, and rumors stated Lee Mi Sook had a hand in what caused her to eventually commit suicide.
Lee Mi Sook stated:
"I apologize for causing worry to so many people because of this unfortunate situation. I'd like to carefully deliver my statement on the situation involving late Jang Ja Yeon myself. I was careful because I worried about each and every word I said of the rookie actress, who had such a tragic death at an early age, would be misconstrued and edited into gossip rather than for clarifying the truth.
I also think the death of late actress Jang Ja Yeon is unfortunate. I'm willing to undergo additional questioning if needed to reveal the truth behind her death. However, I believe an investigation that my fellow citizens approve of and one that will restore the reputation of who passed should take place.
I'll do my best so there will be no more misunderstandings or suspicions because of the death of the late Jang Ja Yeon. Thank you."
In related news, Jang Ja Yeon's former labelmate Yoon Ji Oh has been attempting to return spotlight on the re-opened case.

I think this women probably was a prostitute as well. Then she brought Jang Ja Yeon into it (as she was the new rookie actress). Jang Ja Yeon trusted Lee Mi Sook and told her about trying to seek the truth. Lee Mi Sook was desperat about not getting her reputation ruined so she went so far that she told the perpetrator about it, and told him to do anything to prevent it from leaking (even using physical violence to threaten them).
"In more document with more than 50+ pages, Jang Ja Yeon exposed 30 men that she was forced to have sex with. Actress Lee Mi Sook was also accused of being the person who forced Jang Ja Yeon to sign an agreement providing sexual services."
"Lee Mi Sook were also identified as victims in her documents."
"The Contents Entertainment filed an appeal against Lee Mi Sook ..... They claimed to have paid him millions to keep him from going to the media and ruining her reputation."
"Lee Mi Sook: The contents are shocking. The only person Kim Jong Seung is afraid of is you. Please scold him. Whether you have to break a hand or a foot, this cannot hit the floor. Yoo Jang Ho has the documents, meet him and listen to what he says."
