The advisory comes in the wake of a rise in fraudulent activities involving impersonation scams, where individuals create fake accounts to deceive fans. In one instance, a fraudulent account claimed to be Yoo Jae Suk, falsely stated he had invested in Antenna's shares and encouraged fans to share investment advice and market information. Antenna has urged fans to report any fake accounts they encounter as part of a broader initiative to safeguard their artists' rights and prevent potential harm to the public. Celebrity impersonation issues on social media and in advertising, involving figures like Yoo Jae Suk, Baek Jong Won, Hwang Hyun Hee, and Hong Jin Kyung, have become a growing concern, causing distress to the affected parties.
