Lee Byung-hun appeared at the court on the 24th at 2PM with 6-7 people including his managers.

He didn't say a word until he entered the courtroom.

To avoid the media that kept approaching him, Lee Byung-hun hid in the bathroom with about 20 or so bodyguards, then later met to talk with his attorney before the trial.

The trial discussed the process of Lee Byung-hun meeting the two accused women Lee and Kim to the point where they tried to blackmail him with a video for money. Lee said, "We were seeing each other" and presented text messages as evidence but Lee Byung-hun denied it, saying it was a joke.

Under the request of the investigators to prevent further defamation of the actor in the process of testifying, the trial was held in private. As he came out, Lee Byung-hun told the media, "I've said everything The Way It Is and now all I have to do is wait for the results".

Previously, the accused women admitted the fact that they threatened Lee Byung-hun for money but denied other details.
