SHINee member TAEMIN’s YouTube channel has been suspended after a hacking attempt was detected, according to his agency Big Planet Made on Monday.
“We apologize to TAEMIN’s fans for the inconvenience and concern caused by this unexpected situation, despite our precautions,” the agency said in its press release.
When it discovered the hacking attempt on Monday, the agency reported the incident and provided YouTube with the necessary documentation to take appropriate action.
In response, YouTube informed the agency that the channel had been suspended for violating its rules, and it was shut down the same day.
“We are actively discussing solutions with YouTube and will work to recover the channel as quickly as possible by communicating with the platform,” the agency said.
“We will take strict legal action against the hackers by promptly reporting them to the police, as there have been repeated attempts to hack his account.”
TAEMIN debuted as a member of SHINee under SM Entertainment in May 2008 and is currently active as a solo artist. He is currently on his “Ephemeral Gaze” tour, which kicked off on August 31 in Incheon and will visit 24 cities in 19 countries.
