Lee Seung Hoon and Kim Jin Woo explained further about the situation during the V Live session. According to Lee Seung Hoon, Kim Jin Woo’s Instagram account was hacked by a netizen and the hacker had commented on the woman’s posts. He stated, “Hacking in and of itself is not right.

Imagine how shocked she must have been.” He continued and warned, “I understand your curiosity. But please don’t do this anymore. We may see you at the police station.”
Lee Seung Hoon also commented, “It’s very frustrating. Because of what we do, there’s a lot of things that we have to deal with and we can’t explain, and therefore reveal, it to the public or to our fans, less it cause further misunderstandings. So, we live with a lot of stress.” He revealed that Kim Ji Woo had brushed off the situation by just saying it was okay and told fans not to misunderstand.
