Jennie's agency to sue over 'maliciously edited' video showing wardrobe malfunction
In Korea, even viewing non-consensual deepfake material can carry up to three years in prison.
OA Entertainment, the agency representing Blackpink's Jennie, has announced plans to pursue both civil and criminal action against those responsible for a maliciously edited video showing a wardrobe malfunction during her performance at Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan. The agency emphasized that no settlement or leniency would be granted in response to such offensive content.
The video, which allegedly surfaced online, depicted the singer dancing energetically before her top shifted, revealing portions of her body. While the authenticity of the clip remains unverified, some viewers suspected it may have been manipulated using artificial intelligence. The video's origin account has since been suspended.
The dissemination of such content falls under South Korea's Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes, which can result in up to seven years in prison or a fine of up to 50 million won for those who create deepfake content involving a person's face, body, or voice without consent. Additionally, those who possess, buy, save, or even watch the material can face up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won.
