A Twitter user impersonated a furniture company located in Daejeon, created an SNS account, and promoted the store by referring to the Itaewon disaster, causing damage to the owner of the furniture company Amon.
On the 30th, Twitter user A created an account by stealing the photo and name of a furniture company, and posted a post as if he was the real owner of the store.
In the post, Mr. A mentioned the Itaewon disaster and said, "We plan to deliver donations for the deceased."
Netizens who saw this misunderstood that the account was actually created in the store, and responded such as "posts out of time", "using the Itaewon disaster for personal business", and "loss of humanity".
However, Mr. A said, "I just expressed regret for the Twitter open event and the Itaewon disaster." "I plan to donate a donation, but what are you going to do?"

After some time, Mr. B, the representative of the company, who noticed Mr. A's excessive behavior, hurriedly created a Twitter account and set out to fix it.
Mr. B explained, "It is not an account created by our company," and said, "An unknown person is deliberately impersonating (our company) on Twitter, referring to the Itaewon disaster and destroying our business."
B then added, "I hope no one has been harmed by the impersonation posting."
When Mr. B, the actual company representative, appeared and explained, Mr. A deleted the account, created a new account, and posted an apology.

The apology contained the contents of "I'm really sorry that the unfortunate accident was used for malicious purposes, that the company impersonated the company and caused damage, and that I wrote an apology one day after the incident."
Netizens who saw this responded, "I don't understand why you're doing this," "You shouldn't post an apology like this, but you should meet the person concerned and apologize", "There is no other devil", etc.
