BLACKPINK's Jennie's agency announces legal action following discovery of AI-generated illicit images and videos
The agency representing 'Jennie', a member of the world-famous girl group BLACKPINK, has issued a clear statement that they will take legal action against perpetrators after discovering that the artist's images and videos were manipulated using AI technology in a damaging and illegal manner, and subsequently shared online.
The incident has caused significant outrage among fans, as the manipulated images and videos contain inappropriate content that impacts the artist's reputation and privacy. The agency stated that this act constitutes a serious violation of personal rights and that they will not settle with any involved parties under any circumstances.
Currently, AI or artificial intelligence technology is increasingly being misused, particularly in the creation of 'Deepfakes', where the faces of famous individuals are edited into inappropriate situations. This is not the first time a Korean artist has fallen victim to such acts, leading many to realize the importance of regulating the use of technology to ensure greater safety and ethics.
The agency has requested cooperation from fans and social media users: if you encounter content that falls under such illegal acts, please help by reporting it to the respective platforms and notifying the company so that the legal team can gather evidence and take the strongest possible action against the perpetrators.
This announcement serves as a warning to all internet users to be cautious when viewing and sharing information online. One should always verify the authenticity of content to prevent themselves from becoming a tool for or a supporter of illegal acts that violate the rights of others.
