On March 11, Kang Ha Neul took to his Instagram account to share some news with his fans. He wrote a lengthy post, accompanied by a simple photo of an ice cube.
He wrote, “I woke up and am informing everyone that I am alive and well.”
He continued, “Ah, some people who are unaware might be thinking, ‘What is he talking about?’ A few moments ago, a knowledgeable hacker changed my password and so I thought long and hard and remembered my password. Perhaps that was their intent. Thank you to those who were alarmed and contacted me. I apologize to those of you who were shocked.”
The actor showed optimism about the incident, writing, “I don’t use Instagram much, so a lot of people tell me to use it more often. I didn’t listen to them, and it feels like I am being punished for it now, haha. Or maybe it’s telling me to keep everyone updated, so here I am, notifying you all that I am well. I guess there’s a meaning to all of this.”
“Everyone, have a good night. Thank you for everyone who contacted me! P.S. I noticed that I’m following a lot of people after I got hacked. It’s a bit too much to go through and organize all of them. I did go through and get rid of a few people who had peculiar names, but there were too many. I’ll think of this as fate, and let’s get along well~ (Also, sorry that I can’t follow back each and every one of you),” he concluded.
Following this, a representative from his agency also wrote, “It is true that Kang Ha Neul was hacked and we confirmed that he uploaded a statement regarding this directly. He found out about the hacking through a colleague of his. We are not sure about the specific contents of that message. We do not have plans to pursue further actions regarding the hacking. Kang Ha Neul wants to continue to communicate more closely with his fans following this incident. He will work hard to show a good side to his fans.”
