Allkpop Removes Ailee Nude Photos From Website After Fans Post Thousands Of Angry Comments

[uledy.livejournal.com]

Allkpop readers revisiting a Nov. 10 article featuring unauthorized nude photos of the solo singer Ailee may be surprised to find the photos have been removed from the website.

"Umm, where are the photos? I saw them before. Allkpop you removed the photos," allkpop reader Haelic wrote on Tuesday.

Haelic was one of over 6,000 fans that have left overwhelmingly negative comments on the article featuring the Ailee nude photos and allkpop's follow-up piece featuring a statement from the singer's record label YMC Entertainment and an explanation from the website's editors.

"Are you scared now?" Haelic asked the allkpop editors. "Famous artists unfollowed you on Twitter....you're scared now aren't you? Remove the whole article please!"

Much of the vitriol among readers appears to be focused around the fact that Vice President of Content for allkpop and the website's parent company 6Theory Media of Edgewater, NJ, admitted he attempted to sell the Ailee nude photos to the Korean publication Dispatch, after a phone call implicating him was released.

"I just signed in to say f**k you to Daniel Lee and allkpop," reader Bokdol wrote on Monday. "That is all."

"They could have easily blurred most of the picts but they only did as minor a job as possible and lied about having them, then lied about trying to sell them," Bokdol added.

"It's because of Daniel Lee that Ailee has this problem. It was disgusting how they pretended to be innocent."
Lee, who used to date Ailee, reportedly got ahold of the photos after the 24-year-old singer had been involved in a modeling scam and asked for his advice.

Three days after allkpop published the unauthorized nude photos of Ailee, which were censored with small black boxes, the allkpop VP told the host of the South Korean program "One Night of TV Entertainment," that although he attempted to sell the photos, he did not leak them to his employer, according to eNEWS.

"I just really wanted to see if it was possible [to sell pictures] and I innocently asked. I had no other intention."

The allkpop VP, who said he hasn't spoken to Ailee since publishing the nude pictures, denied reports that he leaked the photos to the website he works for.

"All I can say is I'm sorry," Lee said.

"A misunderstanding happened and I can only say sorry about it. But what I want to say is that I did not leak the photos."

Previous requests for comment from allkpop have been ignored. Their listed phone number has been disconnected.

Not surprised at this continued shadiness tbh. But lol @ "the 24-year-old singer had been involved in a modeling scam and asked for his advice" being reported as fact.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

too little too late

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Won't save your asses from a lawsuit you pricks

[yunjaeismine.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who think he isn't the only one to be blamed in this? Ailee took the pictures herself, nobody forced her to. Now deal with the damn consequences.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

Ugh this victim blaming

I dunno whether to laugh or what. How can someone be so stupid?

[nyankee.livejournal.com]

They shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Ugh, Daniel Lee is lower than pond scum.

[yunjaeismine.livejournal.com]

Wow, people. I never realized how my comment indirectly hurts people who had been in similar situations before. Well, to be honest, I'm kind of glad I comment it on the first place. It kind of open my eyes you know. I mean, one week ago, I'd really say that sentence without feeling an ounce of guilt. But now I do.


And I'm sorry for it. I promise I won't be that insensitive again. Who knows whose past I might rekindled with my words.

And people who had been in a similar situation before, please stay strong. I couldn't have imagined how you would've coped with everything your life put against you T.T Oh God, I felt really bad >.,

These things take time to learn (hell I wouldve said the same not even two years ago) but admitting to being wrong and legitimately trying to learn from people is the right way to handle this.

I'm forever amused how badly this ended up backfiring for AKP.

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

& they still have over 2mil fans and get thousands of hits per day. the world keeps on spinning

[lcbarnes.livejournal.com]

AKP deserves all the backlash they get for posting those pictures.

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

As long as Ailee overcome all this, is all I care. I can't deal with what this scavengers do or said anymore.The only article from them I want to read is the one where they finally had been sued to hell.

[malhy.livejournal.com]

Good riddance AKP!

[k-omorebi.livejournal.com]

Met someone a few weeks ago who grew up with Daniel Lee...said he was an absolute douchebag and asshole back then too. Good riddance.

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

those motherfuckers deserve all the backlash

[gpbasicfan1.livejournal.com]

REALLY?! All he can say is sorry??!!!! He's such an asshole!
