Starship Entertainment Apologizes After 'Accidentally' Posting Sexual IVE Deepfake Content

Starship Entertainment, the label of six-member IVE, has issued an apology after posting sexual deepfakes of the girl group.

The company reposted a fan-created deepfake on the social media platform Weibo, which contained deepfakes and insults towards IVE's Yujin.

In response to fans' outrage and criticism, Starship Entertainment issued an official apology. The company claimed that the incident happened when a social media manager accidentally shared the post in their attempts to report it.

"Hello, this is Starship Entertainment,

We would like to address the post that was uploaded on Starship Entertainment's Weibo today.

This incident occurred during the process of reporting a malicious post, and the post has since been deleted.

We sincerely apologize to the artist and the fans who may have been upset by this post. We will pay more attention to account management to ensure that such errors do not happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience. Once again, we are very sorry."

Fans, however, remain unconvinced by the company's statement, with many stating their cases for why the company's apology seemed flimsy.

"Ain't no way it could be a mistake bc you get prompted twice when reposting on Weibo," said one fan.

Unacceptable.
This is just beyond the pale 'screw up' gotta have heads roll after this..

The staff member who posted that should probably just be fired since you don't just stumble across deep fakes without realizing it in this context.

I read several articles on this. It's such a weird situation and I don't see how it can accidentally happen.
