Actress Yoo In Na recently shared an unbelievable and terrifying story from her past, revealing that she was unknowingly involved in a romance scam during her early 20s.
On December 10, a video was uploaded to the Yoo In Radio YouTube channel featuring actor Park Jung Min as a guest. During the conversation, Yoo In Na opened up about her strange and unforgettable experience.
She began by saying, “This happened when I was in my early 20s and working part-time at a café. A man suddenly came up to me and said, ‘Hey Hye Young.’ I told him, ‘I’m not Hye Young,’ but he kept insisting, ‘No, you’re definitely Hye Young.’ I was really confused and a little scared.”
Yoo In Na continued, “To prove I wasn’t this ‘Hye Young,’ I told him my real name. Then, he pulled out his phone and showed me photos—photos of me! I was so shocked because I had no idea how he had them.”
When Park Jung Min asked if the photos were really hers, Yoo In Na confirmed, “Yes, they were all photos of me, taken from my Cyworld account. It turned out that a woman had stolen my photos, shared them with this man, and created fake stories like, ‘This is what I did today.’”
Things escalated when Yoo In Na discovered the situation was part of a romance scam. She explained, “The woman had borrowed money from the man—100,000 or 200,000 won. Back then, that was a lot of money for me. I told him, ‘This isn’t me. Go check my Cyworld account, all these photos are publicly available.’”
Eventually, the scam unraveled. Yoo In Na recalled, “The man told ‘Hye Young,’ ‘I’ve met the real person in the photos, and I’m going to report this.’ That’s when the woman contacted him and returned the money. Thankfully, it got resolved, but it was such a bizarre experience.”
Reflecting on the incident, Yoo In Na added, “Isn’t it incredible? Of course, it was a bad thing, but even after so many years, it’s an unforgettable story. It still fascinates me to this day.”
Her shocking confession left viewers amazed and served as a reminder of how far scams can go.
