[Sportschosun Reporter Jo Min-jung] Broadcaster Lee Ji-hye personally revealed an advertisement in which her face was superimposed and urged caution.
On the 17th, Lee Ji-hye posted several screenshots on her social media, stating, "This is not an advertisement I filmed. I have been receiving a lot of DMs lately.
" The photos revealed advertisement screens designed to make it appear as if Lee Ji-hye is personally promoting specific products, such as sweet potatoes and underwear. However, it appears to be an advertisement created using AI.
Lee Ji-hye claims that it is a false advertisement unrelated to her. Lee Ji-hye warned, "You must absolutely not click on that link to make a purchase," adding, "Please be careful.
" She further explained, "It seems to connect to a Chinese site," and added, "Although it is written in Korean, if you look closely, you will get a strange feeling. " She also expressed her displeasure, saying, "I really don't know where on earth this was made, but it's terrible.
" Amid a recent series of cases where celebrities' photos and videos are illegally composited and used in advertisements, Lee Ji-hye personally informed her fans about being a victim of portrait theft and urged them to take precautions to prevent similar incidents. Netizens reacted with comments such as, "You could easily mistake it for a real advertisement," "There are too many fraudulent ads like this these days," "It's a relief that she let people know herself," and "I definitely shouldn't click on the link.
" Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hye married tax accountant Moon Jae-wan in 2017 and has two daughters. She is currently actively working in broadcasting and on YouTube.
