[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Chaeyoung, a member of the girl group TWICE, revealed that she has been a victim of her phone number being leaked.

On the 26th, Chaeyoung posted on TWICE's official Instagram account, "The moment 11 digits, which may seem meaningless, were posted on the internet by a person lacking consideration and respect, my phone was flooded with all kinds of calls and messages," adding, "I am going through trouble that I shouldn't have to endure."

She continued, "Think about how the actions and contacts, disguised as mere interest and love, cause fatigue, anxiety, and hardship to so many people," and stated, "I am not writing this because I cannot hold back my anger, but because I want to clearly let you know that this is seriously wrong."

The following is the full text posted on TWICE's Instagram.

I hoped to step back quietly and wait for the right time, but now it seems there is a limit.

The moment 11 digits, which may seem meaningless, were posted on the internet by a person lacking consideration and respect, my phone was flooded with all kinds of calls and messages, and I am going through trouble that I shouldn't have to endure. These problems affect not only me but also our precious members and many other idols at our company.

?

Please take a moment to think about how the actions and contacts, sent thoughtlessly and disguised as interest and love, are causing fatigue, anxiety, and hardship to many people.

?

Also, please do not disgrace the fans who send us healthy, proper interest, support, and love with such tightly wrapped packaging.

?

I am not someone who is easily shaken by these issues. I am not writing this because I cannot hold back my anger. I just want to clearly let you know that this is wrong. It is a shameful act.
