JENNIE's management office YG Entertainment (hereafter YG) distributed press materials to various media outlets on the 3rd and announced, "We have formally requested the police to investigate the person who first circulated BLACKPINK's JENNIE's personal photo." "YG is continuously monitoring the matter and filed a complaint in September after collecting information," said.
August 23 was the first time that a photo presumed to be JENNIE and V was circulated online. It is YG who has taken an official position for the first time in 41 days since it was first circulated. So far, both JENNIE's management office and V's management office have not disclosed their official position on this incident.
YG said, We have refrained from mentioning and expressing our position in order to minimize additional damage. However, we felt responsible for mass production, criticism, personal attacks, sexual harassment, and invasion of privacy caused by personal photos.""
YG said, "We are taking strong legal measures against posts that damage the personality and reputation of our artists." Under the Information and Communications Network Act, I have filed a lawsuit against him for defamation, violation of the prohibition on illegal information distribution, and lewdness in the use of communication media."
In particular, YG warned, "We will take all legal measures without any leniency regarding additional damage that may occur in the future."
In addition, it said, "Photos circulated on the Internet were illegally published regardless of the person's will," he said. "Sharing them is a second crime and is subject to legal punishment. We sincerely ask for your cooperation."
This means that legal action will be taken not only for leaking JENNIE's private photos, but also for the secondary and tertiary distribution of these photos.
Photos of the incident, which were taken in what appeared to be a waiting room, began to circulate on the Internet on August 23. At that time, some netizens speculated that the two were V and JENNIE based on the men's and women's outfits in the photo. Concerns were raised that ``Jenny's personal information may have been leaked.''
However, there was a cautious theory that ``it may not be JENNIE and V'', but after that, another personal photo was circulated one after another and spread one after another.
JENNIE and V were already involved in Love Affair Rumors in May. At that time, it was Love Affair Rumors that saw a man and a woman who are presumed to be V and JENNIE riding in the same car on Jeju Island.
But this time the severity of the situation was different. Unlike May's Love Affair Rumors, it was considered a criminal act of illegally distributing JENNIE's personal photos. For this reason, it has been pointed out that if the circulation of JENNIE and V's personal photos is to continue to rise, it may be necessary for both agencies to announce their strong positions.
