Cha Eun-woo ARS Event Causes Wrong-Number Surge
Actor Cha Eun-woo’s agency, Fantagio, issued an official apology after a promotional ARS event for his upcoming album led to a flood of misdialed calls to unrelated individuals.
“Some users entered the number incorrectly and their calls were directed elsewhere. Please make sure to dial the exact number,” the agency said. “We sincerely apologize to those who were affected.”
Agency’s Official Clarification
Fantagio explained in a notice titled “ARS VOICE contact information” that the special line 070-8919-0330 was the only number designated for the ARS content linked to Cha Eun-woo’s second mini album. Users mistakenly entering similar numbers caused unintended disruptions to unrelated phone owners.
