Squid Game star Lee Byung Hun’s home in LA burglarized and trashed; agency releases statement

Renowned South Korean actor Lee Byung Hun, celebrated for his roles in hit series like Mr. Sunshine and Squid Game, faced a distressing incident as his Los Angeles residence was burglarized and vandalized last week.

According to a report in TMZ, “One of Lee's staff members stopped by his Los Angeles area home last week to find the place ransacked.” The report states that the thieves “smashed a sliding glass door to get inside the house.” The cops told the portal, “Lee will go through his belongings when he gets home to figure out if anything is missing. This appears to be the work of one of the burglary crews that have been robbing wealthy neighborhoods around Los Angeless.” No arrests have been made, so far.

In response to the reports, Lee Byung Hun’s agency BH Entertainment released a brief statement on Tuesday, as reported by Soompi, which read, “It is true that there was a break-in at Lee Byung Hun’s home in the United States, but it has been confirmed that there was no damage.”
