Actor Kim Min (44) is paying a harsh price for the popularity he gained from "I Live Alone."

Previously, on the 9th, his agency, Allor Company, posted an official notice titled "Warning and Reporting Guide Regarding Artist Impersonation Accounts" on its official social media account.

The company stated, "We sincerely appreciate the love and interest you show toward Kim Min," adding, "Recently, numerous accounts impersonating the artist have been discovered using Kim Min's profile photos, posts, and similar account IDs, so we are providing this guidance."

After directing fans to Kim Min's and the agency's official Instagram accounts, they emphasized that "any other accounts with similar IDs are all impersonation accounts unrelated to Kim Min himself or the agency."

They also pointed out that "neither the artist nor Allor Company will ever request personal information, demand money, induce private conversations, or encourage participation in events through direct messages (DMs) under any circumstances."

The Allor Company side added, "We ask fans to pay special attention to avoid any harm caused by impersonation accounts," and stated, "If you discover an impersonation account, we would appreciate it if you could report it to our email address using the reporting format below."

In particular, they hinted at legal action, stating, "To prevent harm to fans and protect the artist's rights and interests, we are conducting continuous monitoring. If the impersonation behavior continues, we plan to take legal measures," adding, "We will continue to do our best to protect the artist going forward."

Kim Min rose to become a major variety show star overnight after appearing on MBC's reality variety show "I Live Alone" on the 2nd of last month. He captivated viewers by showcasing his wild, rustic life in an old house in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province.

However, unfortunately, Kim Min appears to be suffering troubles commensurate with his rising popularity. On the episode of MBC's "Radio Star" broadcast on October 28, he complained about violations of his privacy.

Kim Min revealed, "Too many people come to that house. Cars just drive into the yard, look around, and if someone is there, they leave again," adding, "Even though I was careful about (location) security, everyone still knew."
