Pornography gives a false sense of pleasure and fake adrenaline rush, which can be overwhelming. We also tend to overlook how technology fuels the inaccurate sexual desires and harmful fantasies. Consider the searches people make in incognito mode—terms like 'Japanese porn,' 'Korean porn,' and the popular 'Hentai porn' genre. But there's an even darker side to this story. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Deepfake technology is wreaking havoc in the lives of celebrities, particularly in South Korea. The notorious 'Nth Room' sex scandal has exposed the disturbing morphing of images involving teenagers and K-pop idols. This scandal has not only invaded the private lives of ordinary individuals but has also sparked global outrage. As technology advances, it’s crucial to stay vigilant and aware of its impact on our lives and the potential consequences it brings. But do you know what is the basic difference between Hentai and Deep AI porn? Hentai is an animated form of porn based on manga, while Deepfake is morphed or false images and videos of celebrities who are not actually a part of the pornographic content. 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.

What Is Hentai Porn?

Outside Japan, hentai refers to anime and manga pornography. In Japan, however, "Hentai" isn't a specific genre but denotes any form of deviant or unusual sexual desire or activity. For instance, a piece of animation featuring lesbian sex might be labelled as "Yuri Hentai" outside Japan, but in Japan, it would simply be termed "Yuri." The term "Hentai" is short for "Hentai Seiyoku," which means perverse sexual desire. In Japanese, "hentai" translates to "transformation" or "metamorphosis," with its connotation of perversion or paraphilia emerging from this meaning. The context usually clarifies which meaning is intended.

Deepfake pornography, often referred to as fake pornography, involves creating synthetic pornographic content by manipulating existing photos or videos using deepfake technology. This method allows for the creation of highly realistic videos featuring people who did not consent to their images being used, with female celebrities often being targeted.
