Kim Jae-joong experiences customer service nightmare as he tries to delete hacked account
14 May - Kim Jae-joong recently revealed that he became a victim of a hack involving his Kakao Pay account and had a nightmarish time trying to resolve the issue.
The singer shared this piece of information with his fans via the Fromm platform, saying that his Kakao Pay was hacked and password changed without his knowledge, which prompted him to call the related department to settle the problem.
"When I contacted the customer service, they transferred me to the securities help desk. They then transferred me to the security and incident centre. I talked to them for about an hour, but I ended up not resolving the issue and had to end the call because of work," he said.
Kim also said that he was told he couldn't delete the account without knowing the password.
"How am I supposed to know the password if it was changed by the hacker? "Do they expect me to know the password the hacker set?" he lamented.
Kim said that they then told him they would connect him to another department, only for it to be the first department that he spoke to when he called.
"I was mentally crushed. I know they are working hard but the response was too inadequate," he said.
Fortunately, it was reported that no additional damage occurred. Two days later, Kim announced that he was able to delete the account after a day and a half of work.

Kim Kardashian Turns Heads With Bizarre Courthouse Behavior
Kim Kardashian Turns Heads With Bizarre Courthouse Behavior originally appeared on Parade. If there's one thing the Kardashians know how to do, it's how to make lemonade out of lemons. After all, they first sprung to fame after the release of Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape, which happened to coincide with the launch of their long-running reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The rest, as they say, is history. Back in 2016, the most famous Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris—a traumatic event for anybody, to say the least. Now, Kim has found herself back in the French city to testify at the trial of the so-called "grandpa gang" who robbed her. But her behavior outside the courthouse has gotten people talking. In true Kardashian fashion, the family is apparently aiming to make lemonade out of Kim's horrific robbery. According to Radar Online, the reality star showed up to court with a "full entourage" that included an entire camera crew. "Her team was constantly asking where they could set up for confessionals between breaks," a source told Radar. "It was like a scene from Law & Order: The Kardashians." It appears that we'll get to see the trial play out from the inside on the next season of the family's Hulu reality show. Reportedly, the massive entourage made French court officials "uncomfortable." While the behavior may seem odd to outsiders, it's not exactly surprising. After all, Kim has been accused of calling the paparazzi on herself several times. "Let's be honest," another source told Radar, "everything is content for Kim." Putting content and media buzz aside, a family insider insisted this was simply Kim's way of taking back power over the situation. "This was one of the darkest times in her life," they explained. "If sharing it helps someone, or adds ratings, she's going to do it." In another victory for Kim, eight of the ten people tried were found guilty.

Google Tests AI Versions of High-Profile Influencers
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. The implementation of gen AI seems to get weirder and weirder, while we're continually told about how valuable and useful such experiences will become. Which could be true, I guess, but it is a little strange to see the pathways we're taking to increased value and relevance. Case in point, today, Google has launched a new AI experiment called 'Portraits,' which is essentially AI-generated depictions of famous people, that can offer conversational advice and notes in the voice of the person they're based on. As explained by Google: 'Portraits, a new experiment from Google Labs, lets you interact conversationally with AI representations of trusted experts, built in partnership with the experts themselves. Our first Portrait features Kim Scott, bestselling author of 'Radical Candor,' and offers AI-powered coaching inspired by her renowned communication and leadership principles.' Coaching, from an automated system based on machine learning prompts. Sure, what could possibly go wrong? 'Imagine having direct access to Kim's guidance to navigate tough workplace situations or practice difficult conversations. Simply ask your questions, and the Portrait will use Gemini's understanding and reasoning capabilities to generate a relevant and insightful response, drawing directly from Kim's content and speaking in her voice via an illustrated avatar.' So it's really just another way to find relevant segments of advice from this person based on conversational prompts. So rather than having to read all of Scott's books, and/or memorize key approaches, the system will give you easy access to relevant sections, based on Gemini's understanding of your query. Is that beneficial? I mean, maybe speaking with the actual person would offer some assurance and guidance, but relying on an AI system for the same seems like a far less valuable experience. But then again, if this process can offer similar advice, based on the available corpus of knowledge created by this person, that's maybe, kind of the same thing? Maybe? Google says that the unique value of Portraits is that they are directly linked to real-world trusted experts, like Scott, who have provided their own knowledge and voice. 'The foundation is the creator's authentic content, which ensures conversations stay focused on their specific areas of expertise. We've conducted extensive testing and implemented user feedback mechanisms to proactively identify and address potential problematic scenarios.' I would still presume that many of these experts would prefer to have real-world context for any advice they give, and I doubt the advice provided will be wholly relevant. But maybe, as a self-help tool, with expert guidance, it could be another way to utilize AI systems for good. Meta's working on similar, with AI versions of creators that can respond to fans. Meta's hoping that this will provide additional engagement opportunities, without imposing additional workload on creators, but I don't see why this would be valuable, as you're not actually talking to the real person. So why the facade? Why bother putting a face to an AI system when it is, in fact, just the same as talking to a bot? Portraits is a little different, in that it is trained on each subject's responses and output. But it still feels like it's missing the key element of celebrity interaction, being the actual interaction and connection itself. Either way, it's another experiment, and it'll be interesting to see how users respond to AI versions of high-profile folk. Google says that Portraits is now available in the U.S., while people can also register their interest in their own Portrait depiction.
