Former Miss Korea and media personality Jang Yoon-jung has revealed that her mother fell victim to a voice phishing scam, shedding light on a growing concern in the U.S. and abroad.

The disclosure came during the latest episode of KBS 1TV’s reality show “Hwang Shin-hye’s Let’s Live Together,” which aired on the afternoon of the 4th. The program featured Korea’s pioneering criminal profiler, Kwon Il-yong, as its first male guest.

During a segment on crime prevention with Kwon, Jang shared the shocking news of her mother’s recent encounter with voice phishing. “It happened not long ago,” Jang explained. “All the money in her bank account was stolen.” The broadcaster admitted that voice phishing had seemed like a distant threat until it affected her family directly. Upon sharing the news with friends, she discovered that many in her circle had also fallen prey to similar scams.

Jang recounted the sequence of events that led to the fraud. Her sibling’s phone had malfunctioned, and a few days later, her mother received a text message claiming the phone was damaged. Trusting the message without suspicion, her mother became an unwitting victim of financial fraud.

In response to this revelation, Kwon offered practical advice to prevent such incidents. He introduced services like delayed transfers and other protective measures designed to thwart fraud and accidental payments, providing viewers with actionable steps to safeguard their finances.

“Hwang Shin-hye’s Let’s Live Together” is a unique reality show that explores the lives of divorced single mothers raising children independently. The program offers an intimate look at the challenges and triumphs these women face as both parents and public figures. It airs every Wednesday at 7:40 p.m. on KBS 1TV, providing a platform for important discussions on social issues affecting families across the nation.
