jTBC has issued an official statement in response to the accusations of using JYJ member Yoochun‘s photos.

During a phone interview that took place on February 10th with StarN, a jTBC representative remarked, “It is true that we have released a report regarding an idol star and naked photos, however, we did not make any mention of Park Yoochun.”

Ahead of this on the 9th, jTBC reported that the former girlfriend of an unnamed idol star was using naked photos to blackmail him for over $800,000 USD.

In the report, they had used blurred photos of Park Yoochun and netizens had found the original copies of the photos in comparison, thus drawing conclusions that the idol star was Yoochun.

However, jTBC stood their ground saying, “We did not violate any principles of news reporting. The photos were pixelated / blurred before being released, and we have never revealed the identity of the idol star in question. It was the third parties who speculated that the idol star was Park Yoochun, and therefore it has nothing to do with us.”

Meanwhile, JYJ’s agency C-JeS Entertainment strongly denied the reports saying, “The idol star in question is not Park Yoochun. In the event that these rumors prove to be false and an invasion of privacy, we will immediately seek legal action through legal advisors.”

They should've not used blurred pictures of JYJ, that's why they're in this shit now. They should've never underestimated JYJ fans, especially the cray-cray ones.

Underestimate what? They used blurry Yoochun pics to attack him, they deserve to get sued tbh.

Dude, don't you know the power of fandom?
If fans agreed to unite they'd rule the world and kick your ass.

Dear jTBC,

didn't your mommy ever tell you not to use pictures of random people just to have a video for RUMOUR news?
Surely she didn't tell you either then, that fans have eyes like hawks and make your life miserable afterwards if they have to, aswell as agencies of these now-not-at-all-random-people suing you into oblivion?

Well, you might wanna ask your mommy why she did such a poor job.

Sincerly yours
Fandom

what I don't understand is why they and other stations use real pictures of idols at all (even if they are blurred/pixelated)

Have you not heard of using a default black figure image that's either sexless or just has the general hair cut of a male/female? (if people know what I mean XD)

I guess they feel it convenient to use idol pics instead of paying graphic designers to make a default black figure. But now they'll get sue, let that be a lesson learn.

How is it they can release a "blurred
" photo of a random idol for a scandal like this? Whenever it's criminal charges they always say "Miss A" and "Mr. B" who's surname is Kim. And they use a black silhouette picture, not some blurred/pixelated picture. I just don't get it.

if they didn't want to stir any shit they wouldn't have used pictures of jyj, blurred or not.
not only that, they used blurred videos from their performances / ad campaigns.

OOO these people have some nerves. They should apologize or C-JES should take some legal actions or something.

jTBC: Waaaaaaaaah, why are people picking on us, waaaaaaaaaaaah...

Dude, if you can't take the heat, get out of the freaking kitchen. They knew exactly what they were doing when they put those videos up.

ok, let's say they didn't really think people would assume it was yoochun in the videos, fine, but why use a video of jaejoong and junsu too? You would have to be stupid to not see what they were trying to do with that.
