Kim Young-chul, furious at fake news “Groundless, please don‘t believe or post it” [DA★]

Broadcaster Kim Young-chul is furious at fake news.

On the 9th, Kim Young-chul posted on his Instagram a screenshot of fake news that was cleverly put together as if it was written by a famous media outlet. The screenshot contained absurd content such as ‘Famous broadcaster Kim Young-chul, citizenship to be revoked soon after admitting charges’’‘Fans protest demanding Kim Young-chul’s release due to scandalous interview”.

Kim Young-chul was furious, saying, “I don‘t care and I’m just trying to ignore it, but people keep contacting me asking what this is. I‘m tired of receiving completely unrelated content, and when I see that, I wonder how something like that could come out through a newspaper company”. He said, “Please take it down, and don’t believe it, and please don‘t post stuff like that. I don’t know why they make stuff like that. He also urged everyone to be careful of such videos, articles, and photos,” and emphasized, “I’m telling you once again that this has nothing to do with me.”

Fellow celebrities also sympathized with the post and expressed their disappointment. Park Ha-sun commented, “It seems so fake and I can’t believe it, but it’s really too much,” and Julian confessed in English, “What kind of fake news is this? This is crazy.” Actors Park Eun-hye and Lee Se-eun also left comments in sympathy.
