 Lee Byung-hun, the man in the middle of the '5 billion won blackmail' case, is returning to Korea on the 26th with his pregnant wife Lee Min-jung.

They were supposed to land at Incheon International Airport at 5:50AM but the flight has been delayed and they didn't show up even at 7:30AM.

Lee Byung-hun is appearing in public for the first time in 3 months since the court trial. If Lee Min-jung is with him, she'll also be appearing in public for the first time since the incident.

Many wonder what the couple will have to say in front of the many cameras when they arrive. The management hinted that Lee Byung-hun would give a short statement.

Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung were reportedly supposed to arrive in Korea during the Lunar Holidays because Lee Min-jung was at her final stages of pregnancy.

Lee Byung-hun submitted a letter admitting to his mistakes regarding the case. His management claimed, "That was solely his decision. The opponent had made offers to come a mutual agreement but he reflected back on his mistakes and figured it was meaningless to quibble over right and wrong".

Previously, assailants Lee Ji-yun and Kim Si-won-III were sentenced to a year and two months and a year of prison term.
