In recent times, issues related to cybersecurity in South кσяєα have continuously ѕнσ¢кed the public. On the 30th of last month, a data breach affecting 33.7 million customers — including names, email addresses, mobile phone numbers, and home addresses — caused widespread alarm. In particular, the personal information of celebrities and top politicians is at high risk of being sold at high prices on the dark web and illegal social media accounts, with prices ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of won.

Earlier in August, кσяєαn ρσℓι¢є also dismantled a transnational fraud ring that had been operating from August 2023 to January 2024, stealing more than 38 billion won (approximately 29 million USD) from 258 victims by hacking their financial information and authentication data through security vulnerabilities.

Jungkook himself was a victim of this ѕнσ¢кing case. In January last year, while he was serving in the military, the hacker group stole his securities account, transferred 33,000 shares into a new account, and sold 500 shares to a third-party investor. At that time, the total value of the stolen shares amounted to 8.4 billion won (5.7 million USD). Fortunately, the case was later resolved in favor of the idol, and he was able to recover the shares that had been illicitly traded.

A series of large-scale incidents — from data leaks to fraud and αѕѕet theft carried out through sophisticated schemes on social media — has left South кσяєαns living in fear. Although кσяєαn ρσℓι¢є have established the “International Telecommunication Fraud Response Task Force” and cooperated with HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) to combat hackers, the risks remain ever-present, requiring users to stay constantly vigilant.

Recently, RM shared a type of scam he has frequently encountered as a warning to his fans. What stands out is that the content of this scam message was so “sophisticated” that it ѕнσ¢кed both him and netizens.

Specifically, on December 2, RM posted a screenshot of a spam message on his personal account, accompanied by a humorous caption: "These days, spam messages are practically literature. They must know I like running, because every preview makes my heart flutter… and I fall for it again."

Meanwhile, the spam message read: "Let’s begin with a light, effortless run. May warm happiness and bright smiles be with you throughout December. Like a gentle tremble spreading into comfort, a once-paused heartbeat finds its rhythm again. Thank you deeply for the precious time we shared. If there was anything lacking, please forgive us with your generous heart."

The message RM shared left the public astonished due to how polished and emotional it was — to the point where it was hard to believe it was just spam. From the polite tone to the emotionally crafted narrative and its apparent insight into the recipient’s preferences, everything was designed to psychologically influence the reader. If people are not cautious — especially those who tend to trust easily — they may click on an attached link or inadvertently provide personal information, allowing scammers to exploit or steal their αѕѕets.

After RM’s post was shared, it sparked a major wave of reactions on social media. Some fans laughed at how the BTS leader described the spam as a piece of literature, while others expressed concern over whether the message had been specifically tailored to him, as its content seemed to accurately reflect his daily habits. However, fans remain reαѕѕured knowing RM is highly cautious by nature and unlikely to be easily deceived by such spam messages:

- Spam really gets more lyrical. They don't want to be catched by spam filters. "Wer umschreibt der bleibt" - meaning: "Those who rephrase, remain."

- spam message so good "namjoon the literature kid" almost fell for it. so funny my boy

- This message is way too specific, like it was written just for him. Are they actually targeting Namjoon directly?

- How do they even know he loves running? It feels like they targeted Namjoon’s habits exactly, kind of ¢яєєρу…

- Wait the funny thing is that this is a spam message and he is saying that it's so poetic he almost fell for it

- The message sounds poetic, but it’s a bit scary… Joonie, please be careful, we’re really worried!

- He’s really adorable, even in a spam message, he still manages to find the art in it. But overall, he should be careful with this kind of spam. It may look harmless, but there’s a high risk of personal information being stolen

- Spam and scams are getting more and more sophisticated. It’s best to just throw them straight into the trash
