OA Entertainment stated that it had identified false information, defamation, malicious slander, edited or manipulated photos and videos, and posts violating Jennie’s privacy, and announced plans to pursue civil and criminal legal action. The agency said it is continuously monitoring relevant posts and accounts and collecting evidence.
The key point is that a policy of legal action has been officially announced; this does not mean that manipulation of a specific video or the actual filing of a complaint or lawsuit has been confirmed.
Scope of the Agency’s Announced Response
The conduct identified by OA Entertainment includes the following:
- Maliciously editing or reprocessing content related to Jennie’s appearance
- Repeatedly posting, reposting, or distributing specific photos or video scenes
- Posts combining insulting expressions with false claims
- Conduct infringing on Jennie’s reputation, rights, portrait rights, or intellectual property rights
The agency stated that it would take strong measures, including civil and criminal proceedings, depending on the nature and seriousness of each matter. It also said that there would be no settlements or leniency in the response process.
What Has Been Confirmed About the SUMMER SONIC Video
The official SUMMER SONIC lineup lists JENNIE as a performer at the Tokyo show on August 14. Reports later emerged that a video appearing to show part of Jennie’s outfit exposed had spread online after the performance, but the authenticity of the video has not been confirmed.
Some reports also raised the possibility that the video had been manipulated using AI. However, no official technical verification confirming whether it was AI-generated or altered has been identified. Therefore, concluding at this stage that the video is manipulated, or that the agency’s legal response specifically targets that video alone, goes beyond the scope of the confirmed facts.
What to Check Now
- OA Entertainment said it is monitoring posts and accounts and collecting evidence.
- The agency announced legal measures, including civil and criminal proceedings, but did not provide information confirming that a specific criminal complaint or civil lawsuit had been filed.
- The authenticity of the controversial video and whether it was manipulated using AI have not yet been officially confirmed.
- It has also not been confirmed that any specific account or creator engaged in unlawful conduct.
The announcement demonstrates OA Entertainment’s response policy toward false information about Jennie and content that infringes on her rights more broadly. However, the specific connection between the performance-related video and the legal response, as well as whether actual proceedings have been filed, still requires additional official confirmation.
