Actor Nam Yoon Su recently found himself at the center of a surprising social media incident that led to concern among fans and public confusion. On April 13, an unexpected repost of mature adult content appeared on Nam Yoon Su’s official Instagram account—causing a stir online. The actor’s agency, garten, has since issued a formal apology and provided clarification regarding what actually happened.

According to the agency, the repost was accidental and not the result of hacking or intentional action by Nam Yoon Su. A representative explained, “While driving, his phone was in his pocket, and somehow, the relevant post was uploaded. It was not hacking.” They pointed to Instagram’s new repost feature, which allows users to share other accounts’ content with a single tap—without asking for confirmation—as the likely culprit behind the incident.

The agency continued, “We were also unsure of what happened and looked into the issue ourselves. It was not a case of Nam Yoon Su posting and then deleting the content himself. He wasn’t even aware the post had gone up until fans notified him.”

Nam Yoon Su was reportedly driving at the time when he started receiving messages via a fan communication platform. Concerned, he pulled over to investigate and was shocked to discover that a mature adult ad had been automatically reposted to his feed. The post had been live for approximately 20 to 30 minutes before he managed to delete it. Initially, Nam Yoon Su assumed it was just a minor tech mishap, but as word spread and media coverage grew, he and the agency decided to respond officially.

“Although it was a short period of time, we are apologetic that an unpleasant video was reposted,” the agency stated, expressing deep regret for the incident.

Nam Yoon Su also addressed the issue personally through an Instagram Story, offering his heartfelt apology:

“Hello. This is actor Nam Yoon Su.
Today, I belatedly realized that an unpleasant post was reposted without my knowledge.
I sincerely apologize and feel upset to have caused discomfort to many people.
I will take greater care in the future.”

This incident underscores how rapidly online actions—especially on platforms with new features—can spiral out of control, even when unintentional. Both Nam Yoon Su and his agency have taken full responsibility and assured fans they will be more cautious moving forward.
