Comedian Park Seong-kwang visited a dealer due to the SIM card crisis but did not get an answer.
On the 29th, Park Seong-kwang posted on his social media story, "I've been a loyal customer for 20 years; why is this happening to me? I came to change my SIM chip, but the line is enormous."
The photo included many people trying to change their SIM chips at an SK Telecom dealer. Looking at the long line, Park Seong-kwang expressed his astonishment, saying, "The line is enormous."
In particular, Park Seong-kwang, despite claiming to be a "loyal customer" who has used a specific telecom service for 20 years, expressed his disappointment and frustration over having to wait a long time to replace his SIM chip.
Earlier, Park Seong-kwang attempted to access the SK Telecom mobile homepage to apply for a SIM chip exchange but expressed his frustration upon seeing a waiting list of about 470,000 people and an estimated wait time of approximately 132 hours, saying, "I'm going crazy."
SK Telecom confirmed on the 18th that some user-related information, including unique identification numbers that identify subscribers' SIM cards, had been leaked due to malicious code from hackers.
SK Telecom recommended signing up for a SIM protection service, but after users expressed concerns about hacking, it decided on the 25th to provide free SIM replacements. However, the number of SIM cards secured by SK Telecom is about 1 million, which is known to be around 4% of the total subscribers (23 million).
Meanwhile, Park Seong-kwang is currently appearing on KBS2's "Gag Concert" and others.
