Actress Baek Jin-hee in tears over YouTube channel suspension: 'I'm not a scammer'

South Korean actress Baek Jin-hee faced a deeply upsetting situation when her personal YouTube channel, 'Genie is Back,' was suddenly suspended. The actress, who had been pouring her heart into creating content, was blindsided by a notification from YouTube citing serious violations of policies against spam, deceptive practices, and fraud. This news came as a shock, especially after she had dedicated over a month to planning and filming her latest video on personal color analysis.

I'm not a scammer.

Baek Jin-hee shared her emotional turmoil, admitting to crying and feeling like a 'loser' over the incident. She revealed that the channel suspension occurred amidst other personal difficulties, compounding her distress. The actress expressed her confusion, stating she believed she had not violated any guidelines and had filed an appeal, which was expected to take one to two days for review.

“

I woke up in the morning and it was gone. So I asked, and I received an email from YouTube. It said I had seriously violated policies on spam, deceptive practices, and fraud.

However, the story took a positive turn as Baek Jin-hee later announced the successful restoration of her channel. She expressed immense relief and gratitude, acknowledging the 'small ripple' the incident had caused but framing it as a test to become 'stronger.' The actress vowed to return with a more resilient spirit, embracing the nickname 'Ttan-jini' (meaning 'solid Jini') and recommitting to sharing bright and healthy content with her fans.

I'm confused. I filed an appeal, but they said it would take one to two days. Should I just quit?
