SM Entertainment re-emphasized its hard-line response to deepfake crimes against its artists.

SM Entertainment said on its official position on the 10th, "We are taking legal action against acts that cause great harm to individual artists, such as spreading false information, defamation, sexual harassment, deepfake, personal attacks, insults, and invasion of privacy."

In particular, he emphasized that the production, distribution, and possession of illegal pornographic composites are "not only a malicious crime that sexually insults and ridicules artists, but also a serious crime that causes serious defamation and image loss by making them mistaken for themselves with elaborate synthesis." He added, "We continue to cooperate with investigative agencies, such as collecting related evidence and submitting complaints, and are actively appealing to the court for severe punishment."

As a result, most of the suspects in the deepfake case have been arrested so far, and a total of 12 people have been sentenced to prison on charges of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes (spreading false videos, etc.). They were ordered to complete employment restrictions and sexual violence treatment programs along with prison sentences, and both appeals and appeals were rejected, and they are being held with their sentences confirmed.

SM Entertainment also said, "Many criminals share illegal composites through highly anonymous overseas SNS platforms, but they are also being arrested without exception through cooperation with law firms in the United States and tracking by investigative agencies."

Finally, he said, "Criminal punishment for deepfake production, distribution, and possession is being carried out very seriously," and added, "Please pay special attention not to be involved in unpleasant things." "We thank the various platforms for their cooperation, and we will continue to do our best to protect the rights and interests of artists," he said.
