Singer Jang Yoon-jeong recounts distress over fake death report

Singer Jang Yoon-jeong shared her bewilderment and distress over encountering false news, including a fabricated report of her death, during a recent broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Pyeonstorang'. The episode featured Jang Yoon-jeong and Japanese model Shiho Yano sharing their experiences with misinformation.

“

I've had many stories about my divorce too.

Yano initiated the conversation by mentioning the recent fake news she had encountered, such as rumors of her divorce. Jang Yoon-jeong then revealed that she too had been a victim of similar false reports, confessing, "I've had many stories about my divorce too." Yano expressed surprise, asking if a divorce had been planned, which led to laughter when Jang Yoon-jeong quickly denied it.

“

I died not too long ago. They said I had an illness.

Jang Yoon-jeong elaborated on the absurdity of the fake news she faced, stating, "I died not too long ago. They said I had an illness." She recounted how she felt compelled to quickly inform her acquaintances via social media to prevent them from worrying, although she later deleted the post. "Seeing a 'spirit portrait' of myself is just too unpleasant," she added, conveying her discomfort with the false obituary.

Despite the unsettling nature of the fake news, Jang Yoon-jeong offered words of encouragement to Yano, advising her not to dwell on such rumors. "You don't need to worry about it. It's bad for your mental health. We're both approaching menopause anyway," she said, sharing a laugh with Yano. 'Pyeonstorang' is a program where celebrity chefs share their daily lives and introduce various dishes, airing every Thursday at 8:30 PM.
