 Lim Ji-yeon's one-top Ok's wife exhibition, illegal overseas distribution with subtitles..the act of holding someone criminally liable



"Ok's wife exhibition" is being distributed illegally abroad, including China.

JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Ok's Wife Exhibition' (played by Park Ji-sook, directed by Jin Hyuk) has launched a copyright crackdown after it was found that the US broadcast was illegally distributed overseas with Chinese subtitles.

'Occ wife exhibition' is a work that is well-received by focusing on the life of slaves and their practical problems through the protagonist, Gudeok-yi (Im Ji-yeon). It is breaking its highest ratings every time in Korea (based on Nielsen Korea paid households), and it is also showing its popularity in entering the Netflix Global Top 10 TV (non-English) category overseas. As shown by the high interest of global viewers, it was rare in recent works that the unaired content was first released on overseas sites.



However, it is clearly illegal to share and distribute videos without being officially exported or having a copyright contract. SLL quickly responded to the platform in China where the problem occurred, including blocking measures. Currently, we are working with overseas clients to analyze security vulnerabilities that may arise in the process of file sharing and localization, and are conducting an inspection of the overall related procedures.

Furthermore, it plans to check the entire overseas leakage prevention system of production content and strengthen security procedures in the process of file transmission and localization. In particular, clicking on such an illegal data link could lead to personal information leakage or hacking of bank information contained in PCs and mobile phones.



According to the Supreme Court precedent, the act of scattering links linked to illegally copied 'Occy Denial' content is likely to be liable for civil and criminal charges as it constitutes aiding and abetting copyright infringement, a SLL official said. "Not only the efforts of the production team and actors, but also to the viewers." Please immediately stop further dissemination and spoilers that may adversely affect the overall content industry by harming the basis of content production and consumption."
