SNSD sues over nude pictures

SM Entertainment said that they will take legal action over photoshopped nude pictures of girl group SNSD. A similar incident previously happened to singer Jang Yoon Jung.

On February 16, a spokesperson for SM Entertainment said, “We already asked police to investigate the case. We will take legal action against the person who made the pictures and distributed them online.”

On February 15, an online adult community posted photoshopped nude pictures of SNSD. In the pictures, the group members are standing together in hanboks. Their heads were then super imposed onto naked bodies.

This is not the first time this has happened to SNSD members. In 2010, photoshopped pictures of SNSD were released online and Suwon District Public Prosecutors’ Office investigated 92 people, most of whom were students in elementary, middle, and high school.

On February 14, photoshopped nude pictures of Jang were also released online and online police started investigating the case.
