He posted several pictures of a conversation that seems to be with comedian Kim Mi-ryeo.

According to the conversation, Kim Mi-ryeo seems to be asked Hong Seok-cheon for money.

Hong Seok-cheon said, "Someone is impersonating Kim Mi-ryeo to ask me for money. I have been through this before so I told the person I'd report him to the police and he called me a pervert. If you can texts like this, make sure you talk to your friend in person. Don't fall for this. Kim Mi-ryeo is currently pregnant with her second child and at home resting. This is appalling. Don't fall for it".

Kim Mi-ryeo also said, "I was hacked a while ago. Hong Seok-cheon told me about this and I feel bad although it's not me. Everyone who's friends with me on this application watch out! I don't borrow money from friends and I don't need it. Can't we just report them to the police? The profile picture is very clever. Please spread the word".

Meanwhile, Hong Seok-cheon had fallen for a case like this in March this year.
