[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] An incident occurred where prostitution advertisements were displayed on the official Twitter account of Busan Cinema Center, leading the Cinema Center to deactivate the account.

On the 13th, the Cinema Center discovered that prostitution advertisements containing provocative photos and phrases such as "instant female meetings" were displayed on their Twitter account and subsequently closed the account.

The Cinema Center currently operates a total of three social media accounts including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, but Twitter has not been used for promotion in the past three years.

A representative from the Cinema Center explained, "Until now, only Facebook and Instagram were listed in official brochures and materials," and added, "It is presumed that the Twitter account was hacked."

They also added, "We have taken follow-up measures such as changing the passwords of all major SNS-related accounts."
