Widely-Watched K-Drama Caught Up in Fraudulent Casting Scheme
Weak Hero is caught up in a scam controversy in Korea.
The popular K-Drama franchise is being used without permission in a fake casting scam.
The controversy began when people reported being approached for street casting for the upcoming third season. The problem? Playlist, the production company behind Weak Hero, says this is a fraud.
On June 2, Playlist issued an official warning. They confirmed a single person was pretending to be casting staff. The company made it clear they have no connection to this individual.
“We are not conducting any street casting for the show,” Playlist stated.
They urged the public to stay alert and report any suspicious activity.
Fans are still waiting for Weak Hero 3 to be officially confirmed after the big success of the first two seasons.
Playlist is monitoring the situation closely but has not commented beyond the official notice.
The scam is a reminder to fans to be careful about fake casting offers using the Weak Hero name.
