Actor Kim Won-hee confessed to suffering from a hacking incident.

On the morning of the 16th, Kim Won-hee appeared as a guest on SBS Power FM's "Kim Young-cheol's Power FM."

On this day, a listener asked Kim Won-hee, "I was a subscriber to your YouTube channel 'Kim Won-hee TV.' Do you have any plans to return to YouTube?"

Kim Won-hee stated, "I filmed about 10 YouTube videos before quitting. I had fun doing it. However, my Instagram account was hacked."

He further revealed, "It happened a few years ago. The hacker was a foreigner who took over my account and demanded money. They even called me on KakaoTalk in the early hours of the morning to demand payment," leaving listeners shocked.

He also said, "Hackers even targeted OTT platforms like Netflix, changing the language and profiles. It was absolutely chilling. They even accessed my YouTube channel, which I was operating at the time, and demanded money. I had planned to reorganize things then, but the shock from the hacking incident was so severe that I ended up taking a break." He explained this as the reason he stopped operating his YouTube channel.

He added, "I did find the accounts. Since they are celebrities, they should have their own personal channels."
