[TV Report=Reporter Jaehee Yoo] Singer Jaejoong Kim revealed that he was a victim of hacking on a financial platform account.
Kim Jaejoong announced on the 7th through his official fan platform 'From' that his Kakao Pay account had been hacked. He stated that his account password had been arbitrarily changed by the hacker and that he had great difficulty responding because he did not know the new password.
He said that he contacted the customer service center several times to resolve the issue. However, he confessed that the issue was not resolved even after talking for over an hour. In particular, he criticized the system’s loophole that requires the victim to prove damages, saying, “The person who hacked the password changed it, so why should I know that?”
Kim Jaejoong also shared an absurd experience he had while receiving counseling. "They said they would connect me to another counselor, so I asked which department it was, and it was the one I had called from the first time. I was mentally devastated," he said, expressing his grievances. He also expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "I know the counselors are working hard, but this system is too poor."
Fortunately, this hacking incident was resolved in two days through account termination and withdrawal, and no additional financial damage was confirmed. Kim Jaejoong breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It was a really scary day."
Meanwhile, Kim Jae-joong founded iNKODE Entertainment with former Cube Entertainment Vice President Noh Hyun-tae in 2023 and is currently working as a producer and businessman.
Encode Entertainment is home to Oh Ji-yool, Jung Si-hyun, Lee Ji-hoon, Kim Min-jae, and Nicole. As a producer, Kim Jae-joong launched the 7-member girl group Say My Name last year.
