Choi Joon-hee Speaks Out Against Unsolicited ‘Blind Fortune-Telling’ Videos
Choi Joon-hee, daughter of the late actress Choi Jin-sil, has publicly expressed her dissatisfaction with online content that uses her as a subject for unsolicited ‘blind fortune-telling.’ In a recently released YouTube video, she directly addressed the trend, stating her intent to set the record straight.
Direct Intervention on YouTube
On June 19th, Choi Joon-hee uploaded a video titled ‘I’m tired of blind tests, so I’m appearing myself.’ In the video’s description, she explained her decision to create the content, citing her weariness with the constant stream of fortune-telling videos analyzing her life, future, and personality. She emphasized that this video is the most ‘herself’ content she has produced to date.
Choi Joon-hee stated, “I have never once given permission for my image to be used as content.” She further elaborated on her frustration with the proliferation of these videos, noting the frequent inaccuracies in the information presented, particularly regarding birthdates. “I’m 100% sure that if they say I was born on March 1, 2003, it’s not correct,” she asserted, questioning the reliability of such analyses.
Addressing the Validity of ‘Blind Fortune-Telling’
Beyond her personal objection, Choi Joon-hee also raised concerns about the credibility of ‘blind fortune-telling’ itself. She expressed skepticism about the accuracy of these predictions, pointing out that even publicly available information like birthdates is often incorrect. She used her own case as an example, stating, “If they say I was born on March 1, 2003, is that the only person named Choi Joon-hee? I can guarantee with 100% certainty that it won’t be accurate.”
Public Reaction and Ongoing Engagement
The phenomenon of unsolicited content featuring celebrities and influencers has become a significant trend on YouTube. Choi Joon-hee’s direct response is considered unusual and has garnered attention. Following the video’s release, viewers have shared their support, with comments indicating understanding of her position and acknowledging the validity of her concerns.
