Antenna, the agency representing entertainer Yoo Jae-suk, has issued a warning against impersonation activities on social media. On the 29th, Antenna confirmed numerous cases of accounts impersonating Yoo Jae-suk on social media, some of which attempted to engage in financial transactions for monetary gains. They emphasized that Yoo Jae-suk does not operate any personal social media channels and that neither the company nor the artist engages in financial transactions or proposals through personal accounts.

The warning comes amid a surge in impersonation scams, where fraudsters create fake accounts and use them to deceive fans. One such account posted a message pretending to be Yoo Jae-suk, stating he had invested in Antenna's shares and urging fans to share investment tips and market information.

Antenna has also requested fans to report any fake accounts they come across. This move is part of a broader effort to protect their artists' rights and to prevent any potential harm to the public. The issue of celebrity impersonation in advertising and on social media, involving public figures like Yoo Jae-suk, cooking expert and entrepreneur Baek Jong-won, comedian Hwang Hyun-hee, and model Hong Jin-kyung, has been increasingly problematic, causing distress to the concerned parties.

The full statement from Antenna is as follows:
