Actor Nam Yoon-su has issued an apology after accidentally reposting a NSFW video on his social media, explaining it as an unfortunate mishap caused by his phone.
⚠️ The Post That Sparked Controversy
On April 13, Nam Yoon-su shared a sexually suggestive video, believed to be an adult product advertisement, on his Instagram Story—without any censorship. It was quickly deleted, but not before fans took notice.
Nam responded immediately, denying that the post was intentional. He went on to explain himself across three separate statements: a real-time Instagram Story post, his agency's official statement, and a handwritten apology.
🚗 "Was I Hacked?" Nam's First Reaction
Nam first uploaded a photo from the driver's seat of his car, writing:
"I'm driving right now, and people are messaging me about some weird post. Was I hacked? What's this repost about? Thanks to fans for telling me."
He also uploaded a screenshot of his Instagram Explore page, saying,
"These are the only types of posts in my algorithm. I didn't even know I clicked anything. Is it some kind of spam ad?"
🗣️ Agency: "Phone Pressed Itself in His Pocket"
His agency, Agency Garten, explained:
"The post was made while Nam's phone was in his pocket. He had no idea it happened."
They added that he was driving at the time, and the repost was purely accidental.
"He didn't upload it after watching the video—it was a random technical mishap. We even checked his driving record."
🤔 Netizens Divided: "Honest Mistake or Excuse?"
While some fans sympathized—saying they too had accidentally reposted content—others weren't convinced. The skepticism grew especially because Nam previously followed a known adult content creator, though he no longer follows them.
Critics questioned the explanation:
"Hacked? Pocket repost? It doesn't add up."
Others added:
"He seems to be shifting the blame—first a hack, now his pocket?"
🙇 Full Apology Issued
Nam Yoon-su later posted a formal apology:
"I didn't realize an inappropriate video had been reposted until much later. I sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable because of it."
He added,
"I'm deeply sorry and will be more cautious moving forward."
