TREASURE (YG Entertainment)

JAKARTA - A few days after JYP Entertainment, now YG Entertainment's agency has made a statement regarding deepfake videos with artificial intelligence (AI) involving their artists. They think the deepfake video leads to pornographic elements.

A new AI feature allows its users to unify two videos into one video in the same situation using an order. Videos circulating on social media are said to use deepfakes to create pornographic videos related to YG artists.

The agency stated that before giving this statement, they had tried to report and delete content online.

Hello, this is YG Entertainment. We are very worried about making deepfake video content that doesn't deserve to involve our artist," the agency said on Monday, September 2.

We are consistently monitoring legal activities, actively removing and banting related content. We are also trying to find legal steps including criminality to emphasize this issue," he continued.

Ending his statement, YG Entertainment will continue to provide responses and updates regarding video cases that harm their artists.

"We are committed to responding to illegal acts that harm and damage the reputation of our artist. Thank you," he continued.

YG Entertainment is an agency for several artists and actors. This year, they oversee AKMU, WINNER, BLACKPINK, WINNER, and BABYMONSTER and Eun Ji Won.

They are also home to Kim Hee Ae, Cha Seung Won, Yoo In Na, Yoo Seung Ho, Claudia Kim, Lee Sung Kyung, and many others.
