BLACKPINK member Jennie recently took the stage at Japan’s renowned music festival “SUMMER SONIC 2026.” Unexpectedly, a supposedly AI-generated, maliciously edited nude video of her began circulating wildly online afterward, sparking widespread discussion. In response, Jennie’s independently established management company “OA Entertainment” released a strongly worded statement on the 18th, confirming that comprehensive civil and criminal legal proceedings had been initiated. They are formally gathering evidence and filing lawsuits against those illegally creating and distributing the material, firmly emphasizing that they “will not engage in any settlement or leniency.”
Jennie performed that day in a white bikini paired with a denim one-piece dress. Due to large dance movements, it seemed she might have had a wardrobe malfunction, and malicious actors took advantage of this to use AI to fabricate a fake nude video of Jennie’s performance, posting it on social media for clicks, causing severe harm to Jennie. In response, “OA Entertainment” published an announcement on the 18th, stating that these actions seriously violate the rights of their artist. They have been working with legal counsel and will continue to monitor and collect evidence, such as related posts and accounts, and actively pursue civil and criminal legal action.
“OA Entertainment” is actually Jennie’s personal management company, established in November 2023 after she went solo, with Jennie as its only artist, making their protection of her especially strong. Additionally, fans have called on the agency not only to pursue lawsuits but in the future to carefully assess Jennie’s stage outfits, suggesting that not letting her wear overly revealing clothing each time would substantially lower the risk of wardrobe malfunctions.
During the performance, Jennie kept adjusting her outfit, and with another similar bikini top design, the straps kept slipping down, affecting her performance. Combined with microphone issues on stage that day, Jennie gave a subpar performance and was even filmed trembling, sobbing, and sniffing on stage, making fans very distressed.
