Kpop Idol: 19 Deepfake ((link)) Cracked

Fans have become an integral part of the defense network. Fan bases across all major groups actively scour the internet, report deepfake content to agencies and platforms, and compile evidence for police. This "fandom as a defense force" is a unique aspect of the K-pop ecosystem. However, the problem is deeply intertwined with "sasaeng" (obsessive fan) behavior, where stalking and privacy invasions are common, making deepfakes just another weapon in an arsenal of harassment.
