WartaGate.com - South Korean actor Lee Yi Kyung is finally ready to return to the public eye after taking a break from the entertainment industry.

His comeback has drawn significant attention as it marks his first public appearance since being involved in a controversy some time ago.

Lee Yi Kyung is scheduled to attend an event titled 2026 I Am Solo Run, which will take place on May 9 in Yeouido. The event is a unique running competition inspired by the popular dating reality show I Am Solo.

At the event, Lee Yi Kyung will not be alone. He will run alongside MC Song Hae Na and several alumni from the I Am Solo program.

They are set to complete a 10-kilometer run together with other participants. In addition to running, Lee Yi Kyung will also interact directly with attendees.

After the race, he will join a talk session to share stories, experiences, and provide updates about his current activities.

The actor’s presence has certainly caught public attention, as this will be his first public activity since the controversy that emerged in October last year.

At that time, his name became a topic of discussion after he was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a woman from Germany.

As a result of the issue, Lee Yi Kyung stepped down from several popular programs such as How Do You Play? and Brave Detectives 5. He also withdrew from his planned appearance on The Return of Superman.

Responding to the allegations, Lee Yi Kyung has issued a clarification. He strongly denied the rumors and reported the matter to the authorities.

Furthermore, he plans to take legal action against those who spread the allegations on charges of extortion and defamation.

Now, with his participation in the I Am Solo Run event, many fans are curious and eagerly anticipating his next steps as he continues his career in the entertainment industry.
