Lee Seung Yeon's career went downhill in 1998. At that time, she was found to be using a fake driver's license, was subject to a year of probation and 80 hours of community service. The Korean public is strict with Seung Yeon because she is a runner-up and a role model for young people. The scandal caused her role in Lying Heart to be cut midway. The series that was about to shoot Trap of youth was also replaced by someone else.

2004 was the peak of Lee Seung Yeon's notoriety. With the desire to regain sympathy in the eyes of the fans, she released the photo book "Tong Quan An Phu". The purpose of the series of photos is to condemn the war, recreating the dark period of Korean history - when hundreds of thousands of Korean women were f.orced into sexual slavery by Japanese soldiers. All profits are intended to support Korean women who were abused by Japanese soldiers. However, she did not anticipate the consequences of the picture book series.

The director of her management company had to shave her head to make up for it. Only when Seung Yeon announced the cessation of all artistic activities, the Organization of Women F.orced to entertain Japanese soldiers did not sue her to court.

At the end of 2004, Seung Yeon made Koreans angry when he returned in the blockbuster Empty House, forgetting his promise. After the scandal, no one dared to invite her to act in a movie, but "monstrous director" Kim Ki Duk chose her with the reason: "My film is about a character on the brink, Lee Seung Yeon is suitable for the role". Although Empty House received the "Silver Lion" a.ward, and Kim Ki Duk was honored with "Best Director" at the Venice Film Festival, the Korean people still did not forgive Lee Seung Yeon.

In 2013, the Korean runner-up became the center of attention when she was accused of using propofol for six years.

However, then she repeatedly changed her testimony and cried for leniency. The actor was sentenced to eight months in prison and must pay a fine of 5.5 million won (more than 109 million VND). Before leaving the court, she sadly told the press, "Now everyone in Korea thinks I'm an addict." Lee Seung Yeon was sued by Tongyang Group for breaching the contract, greatly affecting the brand, and had to pay 100 million won (about two billion dong). After completing her prison term, she could not find a place, was boycotted by fans, and her career also stopped when she was "embargoed" by major TV stations. On Daum, many viewers still do not forget Seung Yeon's mistakes in the past. They called her "the stain of the beauty queens", "the one who brought back the pain of the whole nation" or "the obsession of Korean women who were humiliated by Japanese soldiers during World War II".
