Kim Hyun-joong, a member of the group SS501 and an actor, confessed to being a victim of a scam.

On the 14th, a video titled '[FIVE O ONE] Drunken Confessions (I'll Call You Imora~)' was released on the YouTube channel 'Yujeong and Jujeong'.

In the released video, Kim Hyun-joong, Kim Kyu-jong, and Heo Young-saeng appeared and were shown having a conversation with Seo Yu-jeong.

The production team told Kim Kyu-jong, "It seems you were featured in an article for being good at financial management," to which Kim Kyu-jong replied, "Me? I've been running a one-room apartment business since around 2011. With that, I now give my parents allowance money, and this is the first time I've heard people say I'm good at financial management."

Kim Hyun-joong then said, "I just buy everything as it is, all instruments," adding, "The most expensive guitar is about 30 million won. Even though I bought it cheaply, the price of guitars has likely risen more than gold prices worldwide."

Kim Hyun-joong also confessed to being a victim of a scam. He stated, "I am a top-tier scam victim. I was scammed out of a huge amount. I lost several billion won. It wasn't just one person; it was several dozen people," leaving everyone surprised.

Regarding the scam, Kim Hyun-joong explained, "I've had friends since I was young, and I saw a close friend change. It was a sudden sweetness that approached me." Seo Yu-jeong also agreed, saying, "That's how it is with people I've worked with since I was young."
