Comedian Ji Seok-jin shared stories of voice phishing victims among celebrities, revealing that he himself had a harrowing experience.
On the 29th, the YouTube channel 'Jo Dongari' featured guest actors Lee Joo-young, Ji Seung-hyun, and Koo Jun-hyuk, who talked about various topics.
In the video, Ji Seung-hyun mentioned, "I heard that the amount of voice phishing damage in South Korea reached about 800 billion won from January to July this year," and said, "Watching our drama will make you feel that you will never fall for voice phishing."
In this context, Ji Seok-jin stated, "There is a celebrity among my acquaintances who lost 300 million won due to voice phishing. Even though he is quite smart, he fell for it. He suffered losses after accessing a website." This revelation surprised everyone. He continued, "I almost fell for it during the early days of voice phishing as well. About 15 years ago, I received a message from someone using Kim Gura's name saying, 'Brother, please send me 2 million won.' It felt strange, so I called Kim Gura, and he said he hadn’t asked for a loan. That was my first experience with voice phishing," he reminisced.
Meanwhile, the drama 'Dan Gyu' featuring Lee Joo-young, Ji Seung-hyun, and Koo Jun-hyuk tells a revenge story of a nameless actor who loses everything due to voice phishing and infiltrates a large crime organization to seek vengeance.
