Korean actor Nam Yoon Su apologizes after reposting indecent content on Instagram. A number of Korean netizens were shocked when they saw Nam Yoon Su's Instagram profile @nam_yoonsu showing an advertisement for a female sex toy in the repost section.
The incident has been widely discussed on Korean community forums since Sunday April 13, 2025. On the same day, Nam Yoon Su spoke up via a fan communication platform. He admitted to being shocked by the content of a female sex toy advertisement that was reposted on his profile.
The adult content came from the Instagram account @lurevibe_ruby. Instagram's latest feature, repost, which is visible on profiles, allows users to share other users' content. Nam Yoon Su suspects that his account was hacked because he was driving when the indecent content was reposted.
"I just saw the content I reshared while driving. Was my Instagram account hacked? I found out because fans told me about it," said Nam Yoon Su. The actor then shared a screenshot from the explore section of his Instagram account. Nam Yoon Su proved that he is not used to seeing indecent things like sex toy ads.
His Instagram algorithm is 'clean' of explicit content. "This is all in my algorithm. I have to check if my account was hacked. I didn't even know the repost button was pressed. Could this be malware?" he continued. Nam Yoon Su's repost sparked negative comments from Korean netizens.
Following the criticism, Nam Yoon Su's agency finally released an official statement to clarify. Garten confirmed that Nam Yoon Su's phone was not hacked and that the incident occurred while the actor's phone was in his pocket. "While driving, his phone was in his pocket, and somehow, the post was reposted.
This is not hacking. We are also not sure what happened and are investigating the matter ourselves. This is not a case of Nam Yoon Su posting and deleting his own content." "Nam Yoon Su wasn't even aware that the content was reposted.
Nam Yoon Su was driving when he started receiving reports from fans through a fan communication platform, so he pulled over to confirm and check that the adult advertising content had been reposted." "After checking, the content had been reposted for about 20 to 30 minutes, so he was shocked and deleted the post.
He thought it was a past incident, but it spread to many places and became news, so we released an official statement. Although the incident happened in a short period of time, we apologize for the indecent video being reposted," Nam Yoon Su's agency said.
The star of the Korean drama Love in the Big City finally wrote a personal apology via Instagram Story. Nam Yoon Su felt guilty for making many people uncomfortable. He promised to be more careful with his Instagram activities.
"Hello. This is actor Nam Yoon Su. Today, I belatedly realized that an indecent post had been reposted without my knowledge. I sincerely apologize and feel guilty for causing discomfort to many people. I will be more careful in the future."
Last year, Nam Yoon Su stole the public's attention with his appearance in the LGBT-themed Korean drama, Love in the Big City. And now Nam Yoon Su is preparing for the latest film Killing Time which he stars with Ryu Hye Young.
