South Korea Deepfake Porn Scandal: The Real Story Behind the Alleged 200 K-Pop Idols in the ‘Nth Room’ Sex Crime Case

The "Nth Room" sex scandal on the Telegram app has caused a significant stir, not only in South Korea but also among international fans of Korean celebrities. The morphed Deepfake porn images of young female K-Pop idols and actresses, and even ordinary females, have led to widespread concern. The situation escalated when it was revealed that former NCT member Taeil was under investigation for sex crimes, prompting fears of his involvement with the so-called “New Nth Room”. South Korea Deepfake Porn Scandal: YG Entertainment To Remove, Block and Take Legal Action To Shield Their K-Pop Artists From Explicit Content – Read Full Statement Here.

According to Koreaboo, rumours spread about a potential list of over 200 male K-Pop idols allegedly involved in the sex crime case. This caused anxiety among fans who feared their favourite celebrities might be involved and implicated. However, this rumoured list was not true, and the panic it sparked was largely unfounded.

The only official mention of celebrities being involved in sex chatrooms dates back to 2020, during the original "Nth Room" scandal, as per Koreaboo. Despite the lack of evidence, the rumours have gained traction online, fuelling speculation and debate among fans. While it remains possible that some male celebrities could be involved in the 2024 “New Nth Room” chatrooms on Telegram, no official information has confirmed this. Even netizens have gathered and expressed their opinion on the same.

Know The Difference

For the last time, there is no list.

The list everybody is talking about is from the "ORIGINAL nth case", that happened in Korea 5 years ago.

People are confusing that case, with the recent nth case and the Taeil one.

They're 3 different things

Furthermore, the details provided by the police regarding Taeil’s alleged sex crimes do not support these claims, indicating that much of the current panic stems from rumours rather than verified facts.
