In South Korea, a blogger was arrested for a deepfake with a celebrity's voice

In South Korea, a famous YouTube blogger was arrested on suspicion of using neural networks to spread false information about actor Kim Soo-hyun. The blogger published an allegedly real audio recording containing loud accusations against the star.

Later, law enforcement stated that the voice was created using AI, and the evidence turned out to be fabricated ⚠️

The scandal was so massive that it effectively put the actor's career on hold: advertising contracts began to disappear, and Kim Soo-hyun himself disappeared from the public space for a long time.
