Comedian Chung Ju-ri revealed the story behind her inability to continue activities on her YouTube channel for approximately five months due to a hacking incident.

On the 4th, a video titled “The reason why Chung Ju-ri had no choice but to take a break from YouTube” was released on the YouTube channel “Chung Ju-ri.”

On that day, Chung stated, “It has been a long time since I last greeted you. After uploading a video in May, I was unable to upload for about five months,” explaining the reason for her recent lack of activity on YouTube.

She confided, “I previously uploaded a video titled ‘Everyone, I’m in big trouble,’ and after that, real big trouble happened. At the time, I talked about changes in our family life, and it seems that because the video gained many views and attracted attention, I was hacked.”

Continuing, she revealed the process of how she suffered from the hacking: “I received a contact claiming there was a music copyright issue with the relevant video, stating that if SM Entertainment had any objections, they should file an application. So I submitted an objection, but it turned out to be a link leading to a hack.”

Chung Ju-ri said, “After that, my mobile phone was reset and my Google account was blocked. They changed the password at will, and even live streams related to virtual currency were started on my YouTube channel,” conveying the situation at the time.

She explained, “I made a lot of efforts to get my YouTube channel back. Fortunately, thanks to the help of a close younger friend, I was able to recover the account.”

Adding to this, she expressed relief, saying, “I was very worried that all the memories accumulated since my children’s early childhood would disappear. Fortunately, I got the channel back.”

Meanwhile, Chung Ju-ri married a non-celebrity husband in 2015 and has five sons. She has been communicating with fans by sharing her daily life and parenting stories with her five sons through her YouTube channel.
