Baro Entertainment has urged caution regarding employee impersonation scams.
On the 8th, Baro Entertainment released an official statement saying, "Recently, there have been fraudulent activities where individuals impersonate our employees to gain financial benefits, and we would like to urge caution."
They added, "Impersonating our celebrity managers, these individuals approach small business owners and companies, requesting prepayment for specific products (mainly wine, etc.) under the pretext of gatherings, and then unilaterally cut off contact once the preparations are complete, causing victims to suffer from 'no-show' tactics."
They emphasized, "Our employees and associates will never request money transfers or product purchases under any circumstances, and we inform you that such requests are all illegal activities. If you receive similar requests, please verify whether the person is an employee of our agency, and we ask for your utmost caution to prevent further damage."
Baro Entertainment stated, "We are deeply aware of the seriousness of this matter and will do our best to take legal action against such activities."
Baro Entertainment is a talent agency that represents actors Jin Goo, Byun Woo-seok, Gong Seung-yeon, Lee Yoo-mi, Lee Soo-kyung, and Lee Jin-yi.
