Ailee’s Agency Takes Legal Action Regarding Distribution of Singer’s Nude Photos

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Ailee’s agency, YMC Entertainment, has taken concrete moves in order to take legal action in regards to the distribution of the singer’s nude photos.

A representative from YMC Entertainment stated to a local news source on November 12 KST, “CEO Jo Yoo Myung has personally appointed a lawyer in the U.S. However, we cannot currently reveal specific plans as we are still in the process of closely examining the facts.” The reason for appointing a U.S. lawyer is due to the difficulty of investigating from South Korea, as all sources of the photos are located overseas.

A source from the foreign affairs department of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency also commented, “The foreign affairs department doesn’t always take on every investigation involving foreigners.” Pointing to the lengthy and difficult process of obtaining help from U.S. law enforcement agencies and embassy, the source stated, “It will be hard to expect a proper investigation in the case of Ailee.” The source continued, “But if [the agency] appointed a U.S. lawyer, the speedy procurement of the identity of Ailee’s ex-boyfriend might be possible. It will depend on how much ‘Allkpop’ cooperates.”

YMC Entertainment has also stated to several news sources that Ailee will be continuing as normal with her promotions and activities in Japan scheduled for the month of November. Ailee had made her Japanese debut earlier this month with the release of the single “Heaven” on November 6. There are currently no decisions made for the singer’s activities in December.

Nice moves, YMC. Hope the bastard(s) that did those leaking + distributing get what they deserves.

on another note, good luck with the Japanese promotion. Japan is cool with nude pics (in a good and bad way. But not as fussy as SK), so they wouldn't care much about this. Though getting popular there is another issue.

4 FOR YOU YMC

4 for you
but seriously tho, allkpop came off as incredibly slimy and i'm glad that ymc is not having that.

I umm... maaaayybeee you haven't really read all the related articles about this issue. A friendly advice: I suggest you take a few minutes of your time browsing news sites about this. :)

You should probbaly go read the details properly, theres a lto more backstory to this incident.
And Ailee is a victim here. The statement said the boyfriend leaked the pics NOT the alleged modelling company so she still had privacy grossly violated by someone she trusted. And that is NOT HER FAULT.

It was said (or thought) that the underwear company was a popular ones, and there were quite many girls got tricked. I wouldn't be surprised if the young Ailee fell into the trap because it wasn't a ~random~ company (which I believe she did a little bit research).
Like, if you're a chicken breeder and you were asked to supply chickens to KFC or XXX's Steak House, you would trust KFC more right?

lmfao my comment sounds kinda weird

Is Omona doing a countdown party post to Akpoop's doomsday?

I have my celebration gifs ready.

this is excellent news, watching their downfall will be marvelous.
i spent an embarrassing amount of time watching their follower count go down and it was strangely satisfying.

[mookowzmoo.livejournal.com]

Yes! I just noticed my queen Yenny unfollowed them.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

some how my long comment disappeared.

so i will keep it short.

yipee! may they have good lawyers.

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

Good.

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

your icon is super cute!

[pwhyt.livejournal.com]

idg why so many people are saying the modeling story is untrue. i doubt her agency would even mention it if it was a lie seeing as theyre actually going to court about this

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking exactly the same.

[aures.livejournal.com]

cant we do a betting round? how long until their doomsday?



flawfree girl will always be flawfree!

getting messy
That sucks that nothing may come of it because of the overseas obstacle and trying to find a US lawyer that wants to be bothered.

[jaesoe.livejournal.com]

I'm very sad with what happened to Ailee. I live in the US and I read so many cases similar to this where young women (a lot of them are underage) got sucked into scammers and some weren't very lucky and got murdered. All, for a price of fame.
Predators are everywhere, and if we receive an offer for modeling or acting we need to tell someone, friends or family members and let them know something. If a famous underwear co. offer me a job, I would tell my parents and if I was asked to send them my nude pics, then I would think twice about it. I'm 20 and I told my parents everything, where I'm going who I'm dating and so on...I assume Ailee didn't tell a soul about the nude pics until after she sent them out.
I know many Omona members are young women and we should learn from this. I hope Ailee is strong enough to face this. It's not easy but most people are on her side so she'll be okay.

Oh I forgot to add, it's good to know YMCE is taking action! AKP and whoever deucebag did these will go down!

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Good on their company for taking action, I hope AKP dissolves. I was saying yesterday to a friend that I don't understand how Mr. Noh can go about his business with people willingly supporting and wanting to work with him-- professionally and personally.

GO LAWYERS GO GO GO

DRAG THE SCUMBAGS

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

Good. Get that motherfucker.

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

I hope all come better for Ailee in the end. Is the only thing to care.

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

why are so many people saying the modeling thing couldn't possibly be true

this is a girl who clearly wanted to be famous/an entertainer and was taken advantage of by someone who claimed to be able to help her get modeling work

it's a story that's happened thousands of times before for years and years and ensnared plenty of very smart women and very dumb women alike
