'JYP PROTECT YOUR ARTIST': Fans Demand Label's Action Against TWICE, ITZY, NMIXX's Deepfake Videos  

As the "new nth room" and related deepfake crimes unfold in South Korea, fandoms of TWICE, ITZY, and NMIXX call for JYP's action after artists were revealed to be victims. 

On Aug. 30th, JYP artists' fandoms ONCEs (TWICE), MIDZYs (ITZY), and NSWERs (NMIXX) joined forces to call the attention of JYP Entertainment after the girl groups were listed on multiple deepfake porn websites. 

The members' photos were digitally altered to become n*des and their faces were also used to existing adult content.

Over tens of thousands of deepfakes were revealed to be available online, and seeing that most of them have been operating for years, some of the members became victims of this crime when they were still minors.

To ask for immediate legal action, JYP fans utilized hashtags and did mass email event on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), using the keywords as follows:

ALSO READ: List Reveals 200+ Female Idols To Be Victims of R-19 Deepfake Videos — Fandoms Appalled

On Thursday, a list circulated on SNS naming over 200 female idols who were targetted by deepfake video creators and were posted in R-19 channels. 

This list was shared on the web and SNS in an attempt to raise and spread awareness regarding the intensifying incidents involving digitally-altered photos and adult content using idols.  

Just recently, the so-called "New Nth Room" surfaced where the messaging platform Telegram was used to share explicit and illegal deepfake videos of numerous women. 

Regardless of which group we stan we should all stand together against this. Today it is them, tomorrow it'll be someone else. 4/7 babymonster is minor, enough to explain the intensity of the situation.
Let's keep the fanwars side for the time being and protect our female idols!! pic.twitter.com/NafBODGG5I

This case has two layers; the first one having adult men humiliate women and family members using their deepfake content, and the second one is where male students share R-19 deepfake videos of their classmates. Most of the victims are aged 13 to 19. 

This is a separate case from the original "Nth Room" in 2020, wherein multiple women and children were blackmailed and treated as s*x slaves by hundreds of Korean men present in several chat rooms. 

However, both used Telegram to share such videos and were used to blackmail victims in return for doing heinous acts with them.

So now Moon Taeil is being accussed of raping an 11 years old girl and leaving her disabled and also being involved in the nth room scandal. I pray every preperator like him suffers a miserable ending.

When this scandal was brought back, some netizens linked Taeil's sexual offense case to the original "nth room," speculating that the celebrity, along with 200+ male idols, were involved.

There is also a rumor claiming that Taeil's victim is a minor whom he blackmailed and molested for six years. 

However, the police handling his case refuted his connection to the nth room and mentioned that an "adult woman" filed the case against him in June. 

Meanwhile, as K-pop idols are vulnerable to being victims of this content, not only JYP stans but the whole K-pop community help in spreading awareness and calling big labels to address this huge matter.
