WINNER's Kang Seung Yoon reveals that he had an impersonator who took money from an acquaintance

On October 15 airing of 'One Night of TV Entertainment,' popular celebrities and idols such as WINNER and TEEN TOP were interviewed in regards to the problem that they are facing with fake social media accounts. 

Kang Seung Yoon said, "Because I'm from an audition program, the impersonator had taken money and valuables from those who seemed like they were associated / working for other audition programs." 

Fellow WINNER member, Lee Seung Hoon, also commented, "What's even worse is that an acquaintance of mine had even given the impersonator money. They got close to one another thinking that he was the real Kang Seung Yoon and my acquaintance said that he had given the impersonator money when they asked him."

When the interviewer asked about how he felt when he heard the story, Kang Seung Yoon replied, "I was really surprised. Personally, I felt regrettable." 

The TEEN TOP members were also shown captures of a Niel impersonator and Changjo commented, "They even wrote something. I think they even know the way Niel writes."
