Actor Lee Do-hyun’s social media was hacked early morning on Wednesday, according to his agency Yue Hua Entertainment.

“Hacking activities such as blocking the account’s real user’s access and the deletion of posts were detected on Lee Do-hyun’s personal Instagram account this morning,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday. “We have requested [that Instagram] recover his posts and take action for the damages done by the hacker.”

Around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, all the posts on Lee’s Instagram account were deleted and one photo of a gray mouse with the comment “ratobot” was posted.

The post was subsequently followed by various other posts that included comments in Portuguese like “This was all to just waste time,” and “I was bored and honestly, I think he should hire better people to take care [of his account]” with the hashtag “ratobot.”

Lee Do-hyun debuted as an actor in 2017 through tvN’s black comedy series “Prison Playbook.”

The actor is best known for his performances in tvN’s “Hotel del Luna” (2019), JTBC’s "18 Again" (2020), Netflix Korea’s "Sweet Home" (2020) and KBS’s "Youth of May" (2021).
