Some people aspire to be like celebrities, some idolize them, and a select few will actually take the time to create fake SNS accounts pretending to live their lives. It’s been revealed that CNBLUE‘s Jung Yonghwa is the latest celebrity to inspire an impostor account on a social networking service.
On January 24th, a netizen pretending to be the singer wrote on me2day, “Kang Dong Ho senior sang CNBLUE’s “Love” on a Lunar New Year special. ^^ Thank you Kang Dong Ho sunbaenim“.
It seemed as if Jung Yonghwa was personally thanking actor Kang Dong Ho for his cover of CNBLUE’s song on SBS‘s ’Pop Star Actor‘.
However, CNBLUE’s agency firmly denied that such an account exists.
On January 26th, FNC Music spoke with TV Report and stated, ”Jung Yonghwa does not have a me2day account. The account in question has been created by a netizen impersonating him.”
Jung Yonghwa is the latest celebrity to have inspired a fake account in his name. Others in the long list include Kim Yeojin, Kim Yujin, Ryu Seungbum, Jung Ilwoo, BoA, Park Shin Hye, Park Han Byul, Lee Byung Hun, Rain, Lee Hyori, Jang Geun Suk, Son Dambi, IU, B2ST‘s Yoseob, YG Entertainment artists, and more.
