 Highlight's internal management system was improved after 3 weeks of personal information leakage of 897 fan clubs



Group Highlight apologized for the leakage of fan club personal information.

The agency Around Us said on the 21st that it sincerely apologizes for the leakage of personal information of some of the members of the 5th Highlight official fan club Light.

On the 2nd, there was an accident in which the personal information of 897 of the fan club subscribers was leaked during the guidance process related to the application for participation in SBS 'Inkigayo'. Since then, Around Us has made an official apology for the first time in three weeks.




Aroundus said "At the time, the original file containing the process of confirming participants was uploaded during the process of uploading the final list to guide participants in the pre-recording, and at the same time as the upload, the error was checked, and the file was deleted and replaced." In the process, valuable personal information of the applicants for the public broadcasting was leaked."

Then "I would like to express my sincere apology. I'm also sorry that I failed to follow up immediately after grasping the situation, causing concern to those whose personal information was leaked," he said.

We are seriously aware of the seriousness of this issue and will do our best to improve our internal management system, such as strengthening personal information protection measures, to prevent similar cases from occurring again in the future. Once again, we deeply apologize for the concern caused by the lack of privacy measures.'
