[theqoo] PERSON WHO SPREAD JENNIE'S "WARDROBE MALFUNCTION" VIDEO, FRIGHTENED AFTER COMPANY'S WARNING... DELETES ACCOUNT

The account of 'User A', the individual who first circulated a video appearing to show a part of BLACKPINK member Jennie's body, has been shut down. This occurred just one day after her agency announced a firm stance on taking legal action.

As of the morning of the 19th, User A's account was confirmed to have been suspended. Consequently, access was blocked not only to the controversial video of Jennie but also to all other posts the user had previously uploaded. User A had originally posted the video on the 15th. It spread rapidly, garnering over 12.5 million views within just half a day and sparking an immediate online uproar. Netizens were sharply divided, with some suspecting the video was AI-generated while others disputed that claim. In fact, another video showing signs of potential manipulation was discovered among User A's posts. Meanwhile, the controversial video continued to circulate online, accompanied by a barrage of malicious comments.

[...]

If it is confirmed that User A manipulated a video using AI, it will be difficult to avoid severe penalties under Article 14-2 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Se****l Crimes (regarding the distribution of false video materials, etc.). This provision stipulates that editing or synthesizing a person's face or body, against their will, into a form that may arouse se****l desire or cause shame, for the purpose of distribution, is punishable by imprisonment for up to seven years or a fine not exceeding 50 million won.

The prevailing view is that even if User A is a foreign national residing abroad, there is little room for escape. This is because deepfake-related offenses are already treated as serious crimes in most countries. Even if a South Korean court faces difficulties in immediately extraditing the individual, there remains the possibility of pursuing action based on local laws and international judicial cooperation. In fact, there are already precedents, such as cases involving singer Choi Si-won and YouTuber Fruit Juice Seyeon, where individuals plagued by malicious comments successfully obtained the identities of the perpetrators by going through US courts, where the platforms' headquarters are located.

Even the people who saw it in person say it's a composite image, yet here you are taking the perpetrator's side? You should be ashamed of yourself
