Malaysian social media influencer Kim Seri has denied fleeing to Japan over allegations of a fraudulent travel package she managed.
Kim Seri, whose real name is Seri Azlina, said she is ready to cooperate with the authorities following police reports and almost half a million ringgit in losses linked to the South Korea tour package scandal, Sinar Harian reported.
“I never intended to run to Japan, and I never planned to live in Japan. I am still in Korea.
“I am still here [in Korea] cooperating with any investigations conducted on me,” she said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
The Seoul-based Malaysian influencer recently issued a public apology and promised to refund customers affected by issues arising from her South Korea travel packages.
A video went viral recently showing a woman claiming to be one of Kim Seri’s victims.
