On the 14th, Han Hye Jin's agency, Esteem, announced that her personal YouTube channel, 'Han Hye Jin,' has been fully restored following a recent hacking incident.
In the early hours of the 10th, Han Hye Jin's YouTube channel, which boasts around 860,000 subscribers, was compromised, and a live broadcast related to cryptocurrency was streamed.

Han Hye Jin shared the news of the channel's recovery through a post on her YouTube channel, expressing gratitude to YouTube Korea for their quick action and to her subscribers for their patience. She stated, "I will continue to strive for better content creation."

In light of this incident, she has expressed her commitment to strengthening security and managing her channel more diligently. She plans to continue producing high-quality content based on consistent communication with her subscribers.
