GLAM member Dahee's attempt to blackmail Hallyu star Lee Byung Hun was meant to end with her leaving South Korea.

The girl group member and a friend have been arrested for threatening Lee Byung Hun with revealing videos of the three of them making dirty jokes and discussing intimate topics. Dahee and her friend threatened Lee Byung Hun with making the video public if he didn't pay them 5 billion KRW (around $5 million.)

Dahee and her associate had planned on leaving South Korea as soon as they received the money from Lee Byung Hun. His company, BH Entertainment, issued a statement, "This is a premeditated crime as the suspects schemed to steal from Lee Byung-hun and run off to another country, judging by the fact that they had already prepared passports to Europe. They asked for 5 billion won which refers to the special criminal law which can sentence them to up to 5 years in prison."

On August 28, Lee Byung Hun reported the blackmail attempt to the police. Shortly afterward, Korean media reported that the two twenty-something blackmailers were members of the industry, and started to suggest that it was GLAM's Dahee and a model. GLAM's company shortly confirmed that Dahee was involved, and that they were unable to reach her.

Dahee and her co-conspirator were arrested after Dahee acknowledged her role in the blackmailing, and apologized.

Korean television has leaked part of the rumored blackmail video, which appears to show lewd comments. Lee Byung Hun has had a colorful past, with several dating rumors in the past, but this is the first incident since his marriage in 2014 to Lee Min Jung.

Dahee was last seen promoting with Glam in 2013, when she also appeared in the drama Monstar. Lee Byung Hun will appear in the upcoming Terminator film.
