Model Han Hye-jin's YouTube channel has been deleted, causing a stir among fans. Speculations are rife that the channel fell victim to hacking.
On the morning of the 10th, Han Hye-jin's YouTube channel, which boasts approximately 860,000 subscribers, began streaming a live video unrelated to its usual content. The video, titled 'Ripple (XRP): Growth Predictions by CEO Brad Garlinghouse – Future Outlook for XRP 2025,' featured discussions on Ripple's future strategies and the cryptocurrency market outlook. The comments section was disabled.
Fans, noticing the stark contrast from the channel's usual daily vlogs, expressed concerns, saying, "It seems the account has been hacked," and "It's not being restored even after some time."
Subsequently, the channel was deleted. Attempts to access it now display a message stating, 'The channel has been deleted for violating YouTube's community guidelines,' and the channel is no longer searchable.
This incident mirrors recent hacking attempts on celebrity YouTube accounts. Last year, official channels of groups under Starship Entertainment, such as IVE, MONSTA X, and CRAVITY, as well as Big Planet Made Entertainment, suffered similar hacking incidents.
