Comedian Kim Young-chul was outraged by fake news.
On the 8th, Kim Young-chul posted on social media, "I try not to pay attention and just let it go, but people keep sending me messages asking, 'What is this?'" along with a photo.
The posted photo included a screenshot of an article titled, "Famous broadcaster Kim Young-chul, expected to lose nationality after admitting to charges." This is a fake news article created using the name of a media outlet, and it included other sensational headlines like "A few words ruined Kim Young-chul's future," which made one frown.
In response, Kim Young-chul said, "Receiving content that has nothing to do with me is exhausting, and seeing how such things could be published with a newspaper involved makes me wonder. Please take it down, and don't believe it, and please refrain from posting such things."
He also emphasized, "I don't understand why such things are being made. Everyone, please be careful with videos, writings, and photos like this. I want to reiterate that I have no relation to this."
Internet users who saw the post expressed their outrage, saying, "I was shocked to see it too," "This is truly ridiculous," "These people must have nothing better to do," and "Legal action should be taken."
