[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] German-born broadcaster Daniel Lindemann has reported that he was a victim of SNS hacking.

On the 20th, Daniel said through his newly created Instagram, "You may have already heard, but since Friday night, I have not been able to log into my Instagram account, and it was revealed that it was hacked."

He continued, "When my new song was released recently, I made a one-minute promotional video and uploaded it to Instagram, and Instagram contacted me about copyright infringement," adding, "So, there was no problem when I made and uploaded the short video, but when I received this message, I wondered if there was an issue again because of the video, so I went in and got hacked."

He added, "It’s very upsetting and frustrating because it’s an account I’ve been using for the past six years, but there’s nothing I can do. At least I have all the photos," and said, "I’m very sorry and upset for causing inconvenience to everyone. I have made the new account more secure, so there shouldn’t be any major problems going forward, but I will be more cautious in my activities, so please understand if there aren’t as many new posts as before."

Earlier, on the 18th, singer Hong Jin-young also revealed that her SNS was hacked, and on the 20th, webtoon artist Kim Poong reported suffering the same damage.

Hello everyone, this is Daniel~~

You may have already heard, but since Friday night, I have not been able to log into my Instagram account, and it was revealed that it was hacked.

A message appeared saying that I had to click a link to file a complaint about copyright infringement.

Recently, when my new song was released, I made a one-minute promotional video and uploaded it to Instagram, and Instagram contacted me about copyright infringement (the copyright belongs to me, but Sony Korea handles the music distribution). So, there was no problem when I made and uploaded the short video, but when I received this message, I wondered if there was an issue again because of the video, so I went in and got hacked.

It’s very upsetting and frustrating because it’s an account I’ve been using for the past six years, but there’s nothing I can do. At least I have all the photos. I’m very sorry and upset for causing inconvenience to everyone.

I have made the new account more secure, so there shouldn’t be any major problems going forward, but I will be more cautious in my activities, so please understand if there aren’t as many new posts as before.

Instead, I will work harder on TV and YouTube~ I love you all.
