JYP Entertainment, TWICE's agency, said on the 30th through the TWICE FANS application that `We are very serious about the recent spread of deepfake videos targeting our artists"This is a clear illegal act, and we are currently collecting all related data, and we are in the process of taking strong legal action without leniency with a professional law firm. We will never sit idly by and deal with any acts that violate the rights and interests of artists" he said.
The deepfake sex crime video, which TWICE revealed the damage, is a new crime that synthesizes and distributes pornography on a woman's face. It is a content created by learning a specific person's face through artificial intelligence (AI) and skillfully synthesizing the face into photos or videos of other people, and recently spread to obscene photos and videos and distributed online without permission, causing a flood of people to complain of damage.
Prior to TWICE, Yoo Jeong, a former member of V-girl, was the first to confess the damage to sex crimes caused by deepfakes, drawing a lot of attention. Yoo Jeong found out that my photo was used for deepfake through tvN 'Daily Knowledge: An Adult ' in February through an acquaintance's tip. The picture is still circulating on the Internet. I felt really bad. I think it's not just me, and I think it's a situation where any woman or man can suffer enough damage."

Following the New Jeans, Kwon Eun-bi also confessed to the damage and announced a hard-line response. Kwon Eun-bi's agency Woollim Entertainment announced last month that the artist's mental damage due to serious defamation acts such as sexual harassment, personal attacks, false information, and invasion of privacy. The first complaint was filed by collecting a number of posts about the criminal acts of those who synthesized the artist's portrait and distributed fictional obscene photos, and the police are investigating."

As it emerged as a serious social problem, the government also belatedly responded. On the 30th, the government decided to revise the law to punish the possession of false videos such as deepfakes, as well as purchasing and viewing activities, and to raise the punishment standard for the production and distribution of deepfakes. With the government also stepping up, attention is being paid to whether it will be able to root out deepfake sex crimes in the domestic entertainment industry.
