BLACKPINK was released by YG when she was paired with a sensitive video, BABYMONSTER didn't?

In response to the pleas from fans, YG Entertainment has just made a move to protect BLACKPINK amid the wave of creating sensitive deepfake videos. However, they forgot their "rookies".

Recently on the YG Family website, the "giant" of the Korean entertainment industry gave an official response regarding the issue of BLACKPINK illegally distributing photos and clips with unhealthy content using deepfakes.

Specifically, YG Entertainment said, "We are very seriously aware of the situation of inappropriate deepfake (AI-based video) content production and distribution that is constantly being created and affecting our artists.

We are monitoring the spread of malicious illegal activities, working to remove/block videos containing this content, and taking all possible legal action, including criminal proceedings.

We are committed to taking strong and strict action against any violation of the law that seriously damages the personality and reputation of our artists. Thank you."

Although YG is only generally our artists, many people still wonder, are they protecting all the "pet chickens" under their leadership, or just BLACKPINK and forgetting the young "rookies" who debuted not long ago? Because, not only Hac Huong is collaged with sensitive photos and video clips, but up to 4/7 BABYMONSTER members are also the victims of this problem.

Some people think that YG was too disappointed with the group "BLACKPINK's sister" because since their debut until now, 7 female idols have not made a breakthrough. It is even considered far inferior to the "rookie" who has not yet debuted of the Teddy family, MEOVV. Therefore, the "giant" of the entertainment industry does not bother to protect it anymore.

Others, however, disagree with this view. Because it is a management company, it is their responsibility to protect the rights of all artists under their command, which they are obliged to do. Furthermore, YG also emphasized in the announcement that it will take strong action against any violation of the law that seriously damages the personality and reputation of its artists, including BABYMONSTER.

Previously, JYP also took legal action to protect the group TWICE from spreading deepfake content: "We are extremely concerned about the recent spread of deepfake videos related to our artists.

This is a serious violation of the law and we are in the process of gathering all relevant evidence to take the strongest legal action against a leading law firm, with the same policy of zero tolerance. We affirm that we will not stand still when the rights of artists are violated and will act drastically to solve this problem to the maximum. Thank you."

It is known that deepfake is a term that refers to photos, videos or audio edited by artificial intelligence taken from content on social networks or other media without the consent of the owner and distributed online.

According to the Security Hero report shared by the Wall Street Journal, South Korea is the country most vulnerable to the spread of criminal sensitive content in the digital space. Accordingly, 96,000 videos from 10 deepfake dark websites and 85 deepfake channels on video-sharing platforms were analyzed in two months, 53% of the individuals appearing in the movie 18 deepfakes were Korean singers and actors.

Worth mentioning, among them are up to 100 artists from almost every generation of Kpop, the most famous is Lisa and then LE SSERAFIM, and there are also some 5th generation groups that have just debuted. This angered netizens around the globe.

In the face of a wave of public opinion, South Korea announced that it would seek to severely punish deepfake TPTD through Telegram. President Yoon Suk Yeol also called on the government to strengthen efforts to crack down on bad actors to combat AI-generated deepfake content.
