AOA’s Seolhyun To Take Legal Action Against Malicious Editing Of Her Photos

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

FNC Entertainment has announced that it will be taking legal action against those responsible for spreading maliciously edited photos of AOA’s Seolhyun.

On March 19, the agency stated, “After gathering all possible evidence related to the edited photos of Seolhyun that are currently circulating online, as well as on social media and mobile messaging applications, and determining the route of their circulation, we plan to file a lawsuit today.”

It continued, “We will be taking strong legal action against not only the fabrication of the edited photos, but also the spreading of such photos together with false information.”

The agency added, “We will ensure that the person responsible for creating and spreading [the edited photos] will be severely punished. We are also clearly stating that we will not be lenient regarding this matter of defamation of character.”

FNC Entertainment’s statement came as a response to the online circulation of nude photos of Seolhyun, which were posted with the caption “Photos from a cell phone that Zico lost.” Block B’s Zico and Seolhyun previously dated for several months in 2016 before announcing in August of that year that they had parted ways.

Seems like the right post to talk about this but this new trend of making "deepfakes" is fucking terrifying to me. The fact that photos of someone can be manipulated into porn is so vile. What the fuck is wrong with men, honestly. There are so many women out there willing to get naked consensually and instead they actively create shit like this. I've deleted so many of my pictures off of social media since learning about this.

I hope FNC sues the pants off this person and gets their ass canned. None of this "community service" bullshit, prison or bust.

I read the title and I thought that that’s what this was about tbh. There’s Kpop deepfakes all over those sites it’s vile and so much about power.

so many men don't care about consent, in fact they get off on doing things without a woman's consent

IAWTCSFM. i accidentally stumbled upon r/deepfakes just a few months ago, went to check just now, and it has FINALLY been banned like what the fuck? it took that fucking long? iirc that sub has been around for a while, too... y i k e s. it was terrifying to see what these men were doing, and still continue to do quite frankly, but it was THE perfect reminder of how utterly creepy and pathetic men are

There are so many women out there willing to get naked consensually and instead they actively create shit like this

willing to get naked consensually for who? these men we're talking about? idts sis! the ones that create deepfakes live in their parents basements, piss in gatorade bottles, and post to 4chan 24/7, complaining about Chads and Stacys and why they don't have gfs like they're the victims, while spewing the most misogynistic, disgusting bullshit in the same breath. some of the shit they say is unfuckingreal. i have never read such misogynistic language that deviated from the "standard bullshit" that men say. ugh!!!!!
