It has been a good week for apologies in the Lee Byung Hun blackmail case. First the actor made a public apology to all those his actions may have harmed, including his wife, his friends, his family and his fans. Then GLAM's Kim Dahee, one of the two women who admitted to attempting to blackmail him, wrote another letter of apology to the court.

On Oct. 21, she submitted a letter of apology, which repeated some of her previous justifications for attempting to blackmail the actor. Her first letter of apology was submitted on Oct. 17, a day after her first appearance in court.

While the full contents of the letter cannot be disclosed, some of the details have been released. In the letter the singer and actress apologizes for her actions but wants to explain what happened from her point of view.

Kim Dahee previously explained to the court that she and model Lee Ji Yeon met the actor through a mutual friend. She said that they met several times and that the actor had a relationship with Lee Ji Yeon, which included the promise of financial support. According to Kim, they did not, as some rumors suggested, set out to approach him with the idea of blackmailing him.

"Lee Byung Hun contacted us first," said Kim. "We did not deliberately approach him."

When Lee Ji Yeon refused to take the relationship to a physical level, said Kim, he broke it off with her.

"There was more touching than just hugging and Lee Byung Hun demanded more than that and was rejected," said Kim. "When Lee Ji Yeon rejected the demand for a more physical relationship, Lee Byung Hun said, let's not meet anymore."

That's why Kim said she wanted to blackmail the actor. She eventually attempted to blackmail him, demanding $5 million or she would release a video recording of a sexually suggestive conversation that he engaged in.

Lee Byung Hun has denied that there was any relationship between him and Lee Ji Yeon. He says he only met the women socially a few times with a mutual acquaintance. Speaking through his agency, BH Entertainment, he said he stopped seeing the women when he became aware that they had financial problems.

When the women attempted to blackmail him, he reported them to the police. The resulting scandal has negatively affected his career and strained his marriage to actress Lee Min Jung.
