Lee Ji-hye, a broadcaster and former member of the group S#ARP, revealed that she fell victim to an online scam involving office decor.
On the 13th, a daily vlog was uploaded to Lee Ji-hye's YouTube channel. In the video, while going about her busy daily life, she shared that she had been scammed when trying to install an air conditioner for her office.
Lee stated, "I searched a lot to install the air conditioner for the office. The price was so cheap that I ordered it immediately. I paid 779,000 won, but after two weeks, I still hadn’t heard from the company." She continued, "I tried to contact them, but their phone was always off, which felt odd. I searched and found many others who had been scammed by the same company. My heart was racing and I was furious," expressing her anger.
Afterward, Lee Ji-hye appealed to the customer service of the online platform about her victimization and was informed that "you can cancel if you cannot get in touch with the seller."
Lee said, "Fortunately, I received a refund" but added, "There’s always a reason for a low price. I learned another lesson," and smiled faintly.
Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hye is preparing to launch a clothing brand with Jang Seok-hyun, who she worked with in the same group.
