Anonymous answers that some well-known figures, including celebrities, famous chefs, athletes, and influencers, had previously left on Naver Jisik-iN were exposed and became a hot topic.
(NB: Jisik-iN is a platform provided by Naver that allows user to ask and answer questions anonymously)
On the 4th, a 'Jisik-iN' button was added to the Naver profile pages of some public figures, allowing anyone to see the history of their anonymous answers.
Screenshots of the answer records from actors, comedians, famous chefs, and influencers were posted one after another across online communities, drawing great attention overnight.
As the controversy grew, the button was removed and now no longer appears on profiles. According to Channel A, Naver stated, "It was confirmed that an error occurred during a service update, causing the history of some individuals to be exposed. The issue has now been fully restored."
It has been reported that when Naver's public figure profiles are registered with the individual's own participation, their Jisik-iN accounts are automatically linked to the profile. There were more cases of exposed records for actors, announcers, and chefs who started their careers individually compared to idols, whose profiles are usually managed by their agencies from the beginning.
Currently, past answers from celebrities as far back as 10 years ago are now resurfacing across online communities. However, since many of the exposed answers are warm an pleasant, despite being anonymous, netizens are reacting by saying, "It's not a big deal," and "The conclusion is that people are nicer than I thought."
While some say the exposure of answers from their unknown days revealed a fresh, human side of the celebrities, there is also criticism regarding the exposure of personal information and personal life.
