SM Takes Strong Legal Action Against Yoona's AI Fake Pregnancy Photo, Namuwiki Profile Re-examined

Recently, AI-generated fake pregnancy photos of Girls' Generation member and actress Yoona have been circulating online, causing controversy. Her agency, SM Entertainment, has announced a strong legal response without leniency or settlement against the creation and distribution of these illegal synthetic images, and has already filed criminal charges. This move goes beyond a mere warning, initiating legal procedures for investigation and punishment, with evidence collected through fan reports and internal monitoring.

The fake pregnancy photo depicts Yoona with a man, seemingly posing for a pregnancy announcement, but it is an AI-generated false image, not a real photograph. This image had previously circulated in June, was deleted, but reappeared approximately three months later, causing repeated harm to Yoona. SM is addressing not only the creation and posting of unauthorized AI synthetic images but also the act of sharing them.

Amidst this controversy, Yoona attended Milan Fashion Week as the first Korean artist to be named 'Friend of the Brand' for Max Mara, showcasing a new image. She garnered attention for her new short haircut and autumn-themed fashion. Born in 1990, Yoona, now 36, continues her active career as both a singer and an actress.
