Jennie AI Deepfake Scandal & Stage Meltdown

▪

OA Entertainment is pursuing civil and criminal action over false, defamatory and manipulated content targeting BLACKPINK member Jennie after her Summer Sonic performances in Japan. The agency said Aug. 18 that it was monitoring online platforms, collecting evidence and working with legal counsel over material allegedly damaging Jennie’s reputation, privacy, portrait rights or intellectual property. The notice did not identify any viral Summer Sonic clip as an AI deepfake. Reports said an unverified video purporting to show wardrobe exposure circulated online, prompting debate over whether it was authentic or digitally manipulated. Jennie performed at Tokyo’s Summer Sonic on Aug. 14 and Osaka on Aug. 16, according to the festival schedule. Reports from Osaka described microphone and wardrobe problems, after which Jennie appeared emotional. OA said it would not offer settlement or leniency and asked fans to submit evidence. The agency’s legal response is confirmed; claims about online deepfakes remain unverified.
