Although it appeared the blackmailing drama with Lee Byung Hun, Dahee, and Lee Ji Yeon was over with the girls' one year sentencing to prison, it appears that the Hallyu actor is now willing to compromise. He was revealed to have submitted a written statement of his opinions regarding the girls' punishment, showing he was willing to forgive the girls and did not want them to be punished.

His agency, BH Entertainment, revealed on February 13, "Today in the afternoon, Lee Byung Hun submitted through his legal attorney a form asking for their punishment to be lifted. It was a decision that greatly reflects Lee Byung Hun's will. Disregarding the lawful right and wrong regarding this incident, Lee Byung Hun blames himself and is reflecting on his wrongdoings. In particular, he is working hard on doing his best for his family.
We're still unsure about the ultimate decision [to be made by the court] because the prosecutor's side submitted an appeal [for a harsher sentence]. We are watching over it."
A rep from the agency told one media outlet, "The opposite party had kept requesting for favorable arrangements all this time. Lee Byung Hun personally, as a public figure, is reflecting on his wrongdoings. This form for pardon came to be because Lee Byung Hun personally wanted it."
