Actor Yeo Jin-goo’s agency has issued a statement after it was discovered that his official social media account had followed an adult content account, clarifying that it was an accidental action by a staff member.
An official from the agency said on Thursday, “The account is managed by a staff member. It was confirmed to be a simple mistake. We will make sure such incidents do not happen again by reviewing our account management practices.”
The issue surfaced after fans noticed that Yeo’s account had followed a sexually explicit profile. The account in question has since been unfollowed, but the discovery quickly gained traction online, prompting the actor’s side to respond.
Yeo Jin-goo has appeared in numerous popular dramas and films, including “Moon Embracing the Sun,” “The Crowned Clown,” “Hotel Del Luna” and “Hijacking.”
He is currently starring in the Tving original variety show “The Great Escape: The Story,” in which he previously expressed his affection, saying, “The teamwork our members achieved is the biggest strength of this season.”
