HYBE has launched a new website called "119". Below is the full announcement from HYBE: Hello. This is HYBE.
HYBE's integrated reporting center for protecting the rights of its artists
The "HYBE Artist Rights Infringement Report" website has been launched. The "HYBE Artist Rights Infringement Report" website is a separate email reporting channel for each artist.
The channel has been updated in the system. The function of the protectEmail account, which is the legal response channel for each artist, will be replaced by the newly established site.
The new integrated reporting site will allow fans to provide information on malicious posts that defame artists and cases of copyright infringement, and will announce measures more quickly.
The account was opened for the purpose of dealing with such issues through a systematic procedure. To report malicious posts, please use the following methods: ▲ Defamation/badmouthing ▲ Rumors/false facts ▲ Sexual harassment ▲
Abuse of AI DeepFeiK ▲ Stalkers/Sasaengs (fans who stalk private life) ▲ Personal threats to artists ▲ Buying and selling air ticket information ▲
We can accept the following categories: Illegal viral operators ▲ Others In particular, the AI-based image synthesis "DeepL" has recently emerged as a serious social problem.
We will also strengthen existing measures and set up separate items to deal with illegal sexual exploitation material, such as those that abuse DeepFeiK technology.
We are currently monitoring domestic and international channels, including Telegram, X (formerly Twitter), Discord, etc., and will continue to monitor the results of our own monitoring and existing information provided.
We are taking full advantage of the information we have gathered and communicating directly with the investigative authorities to coordinate our response. We are also actively cooperating with the relevant government agencies, such as the Broadcasting and Communications Deliberation Commission, and related civic groups.
The act of synthesizing the artist's portrait and producing and distributing false and obscene photographs and videos is a clear digital violation that not only violates the artist's human rights but also social ethics.
Since this is a crime, we will take strong action. To report copyright infringement, please use the following: ▲ Music ▲ Video ▲ IP works (portraits, logos, etc.) ▲
Merch, etc. Illegally using or distributing the intellectual property rights of artists, such as their music, videos, portraits, logos, etc.
For malicious posts and cases of copyright infringement, we will continue to report them based on our own real-time monitoring and information provided by our fans.
We will continue to take regular legal action against the album. As always, we will take strong action against any accusations of infringing on the rights of artists without leniency.
We are always grateful for the love and dedication of our fans towards our HYBE artists. In the future, we will report any violations of our artists' rights through the "HYBE Artist Rights Infringement Report" website.
We ask for your active interest and information. HYBE will continue to make efforts to protect the rights of our artists. Thank you.
