Magician Lee Eun-kyung spoke about the contract fraud she suffered at the hands of an acquaintance.

On the 5th, Lee Eun-kyung appeared as a guest on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block'.

That day, Yoo Jae-suk expressed his delight upon seeing Lee Eun-kyung, saying, "It's been so long since I've seen you." Lee Eun-kyung replied, "I am Lee Eun-kyung, a fantasy director," and added regarding her 30th-anniversary performance, "It is scheduled to take place in August at the Sejong Cultural Center. This will be the first time in the Korean magic community since David Copperfield's performance in 2004."

Explaining how she got started with magic, Lee Eun-kyung said, "At first, I lived in Pyeongtaek. I was living in the countryside surrounded by nature, but when I moved to Seoul, I couldn't adapt. From then on, I became timid. That continued throughout middle school. My father saw an advertisement in the newspaper stating that 'magic is good for interpersonal relationships,' so he encouraged me to try it to improve my personality. When I started learning magic at that time, I felt a sense of fascination, thinking, 'What is this?'"

Yoo Jae-suk asked, "But you didn't earn any money?" Lee Eun-kyung responded, "I had a company with a brother whom I trusted like family. I even entrusted him with my seal. There were contracts I wasn't aware of. A 10-year contract with a 9:1 profit split—a slave contract—was included. That's how it turned out."

Lee Eun-kyung revealed that she was so shocked she didn't practice her favorite magic for a year. She added, "Whenever I tried to do anything, I received content verification notices. I had no idea what to do and felt completely lost. For nearly two years, I lived as a recluse."
