Person A has been identified as “someone who debuted in 2006 with a supporting character role in a K-Drama.” Korean media outlets have hinted that he “has appeared in several K-Movies and K-Dramas with both supporting and lead roles.”
While no names have been mentioned, Koreans began speculating—based on the facts listed: A male star in his 40s who debuted in 2006 with a decent lineup of works. Soon, the guesswork led to Person A potentially being Thirty-Nine star Lee Moo Saeng.
Actor Lee Moo Saeng did debut in 2006, though with a K-Movie called See You After School. Born in 1980, the actor is in his 40s; And with a successful career including Netflix hits like The World of the Married and The Silent Sea, Koreans found him to “fit the descriptions.”
When the malicious speculation began circulating online, Lee Moo Saeng’s agency ALIEN COMPANY responded with an unwavering statement posted to its official social media.
Hello, this is ALIEN COMPANY. We’re aware of the fact that our managing artist, Lee Moo Saeng, is being discussed online as “Person A,” or the “actor in his 40s who was arrested for drug use.” We’ve been monitoring the speculations circulating via online communities and social media accounts.
