Comedian Shin Gi-ru is furious at the excessive fake news directed at her.
On the 18th, Shin Gi-ru posted on her SNS account, “Facebook aggro... Death within 10 years... I would have let this go a hundred times because I don‘t know what’s going on with people. But this is just too much,” and said, “With your fingers, doing these pranks, with your fingers, trying to survive somehow, squeezing out all your remaining strength and killing people deserve to be punished by heaven.”
The released photo contains the shocking caption, “Everyone told me to lose weight... Shin Gi-ru died at home in shock, everyone wept as she passed away from hypertensive shock.”
Meanwhile, malicious rumors and fake news targeting celebrities have been on the rise recently, causing serious impacts on society. Comedian Kim Young-chul was also enraged by the rumor that he would be stripped of his citizenship soon after admitting to the charges, saying, “Please take it down. Don’t believe it. I don’t know what his intentions are. Everyone, be careful of these kinds of articles and photos.”
In addition, when fake news spread that actress Shin Ae-ra had been arrested for immoral investment, she said, “I usually ignore these kinds of things, including completely untrue content and deepfakes, but I’m posting this because I think there might be victims,” and showed a strong stance saying, “Your agency said they’re considering suing Hyangsa, so I hope you stop your illegal activities immediately.”
