Sung Si-kyung Cautions Against Reservation Scams
May 14, 2025

On the 13th, Sung Si-kyung's agency SK Jae-won posted a notice starting with the phrase 「"Cautionary fraud". It is said that a case of fraud has been confirmed under the pretext of filming 'I'm going to eat, Season 2', a content that introduces restaurants on the YouTube channel run by Sung Si-kyung.
According to the agency, the fraudster called the restaurant to make a reservation for filming 'I'm going to eat, Season 2', and then used a method of inducing the purchase of alcohol and asking for money.
The agency emphasized "Please pay attention to fraudulent calls and do not comply with any form of money demand."
"Our 'I'm going to drink' team never asks for alcohol or money," he said. "If you suspect fraudulent damage, please DM or contact the manager you know about."
He also asked his fans for cooperation, saying, "If you visit a restaurant filming 'I'm going to eat', please let the boss know the relevant information."
Recently, there has been a series of fraudulent methods using the 'proxy purchase' method of impersonating managers of famous celebrities such as Song Ga-in, Baek Ji-young, Nam Jin, Nam Goong-min, and Lee Soo-geun to make reservations at restaurants in the name of company dinners and demand money. Sung Si-kyung's YouTube content 'I'm going to eat season 2' also seems to be an example of abuse in the same method. They cautioned against similar fraud damage.
