A cafe within an internet portal site
has come under fire for buying and selling the cell phone numbers,
social security numbers, and Kakao Talk IDs of idols such as TVXQ, JYJ,
and SHINee. In addition, buyers were even able to attain the phone
numbers of the artists’ managers or close acquaintances through the
website.
Exact prices were not specified, but it
is said that the price of each piece of information differed greatly
depending on the idol group.
As controversy over the site began to grow, access to the cafe was finally blocked.
Netizens who came across the shocking
news stated, “It’s a pity their personal information is leaked just
because they are celebrities. Although they are public figures, I think
we should protect their privacy”, “Buying another copy of their album
would be much more helpful to the artist than buying their social
security number”, and “That’s crossing the line of fandom and
approaching criminal offense. I hope they realize that sometimes less is
more and that their actions can actually be a disservice to the idols
they admire”.
