Singer Song Ga-in urged caution regarding news of a fraud crime involving someone impersonating her manager.
On the 6th, Song Ga-in's agency, Jayestars, issued an official statement noting, "Recently, there has been an occurrence of a so-called 'proxy purchasing' fraud method, impersonating our employees to obtain money and goods. This individual impersonated Song Ga-in's manager, approached small business owners under the pretext of a company gathering, and requested that they purchase wine from a specific vendor, claiming they would settle the bill together during the gathering."
It added, "Our employees will never ask external parties for money or to purchase items under any circumstances. If you receive similar requests, it is highly likely to be a crime, so please do not send money or respond. Be sure to confirm that you are dealing with our employees, and if you experience any damage, please report it to the police immediately. We will do our best to prevent similar incidents from occurring."
Subsequently, Song Ga-in also shared the agency's notice through her social media account. She also posted a screenshot of a message sent by the impersonator to small business owners.
According to the screenshot, the impersonator sent a falsified business card stating, "Please take care of the natural hen's stew menu for a total of 44 people. For 7 p.m. tomorrow," "Please also take care of the alcohol setup," and "I need to report the payment to the agency, so please send me a simple receipt or a provisional invoice as a photo."
Song Ga-in uploaded this and added, "I am informing you of an urgent notice! Please be cautious to prevent fraud damage!"
Meanwhile, Song Ga-in is currently ramping up her YouTube activities with vlogs released through her official channel, communicating with fans.
