“If there was a problem between us and Lee, how could she keep showing herself up on TV screens these days?” the company’s CEO, Jeong Deok-gyun was quoted by a report as saying.
The rumor, which surfaced online Tuesday, said the company abused its authority to make the star, a member of Incheon City Office boxing team, film a sex video.
Lee currently plays a role in TV series "My Beautiful Bride" on OCN.
