Lizzie Yeo, the honorary virtual human ambassador for Korean Tourism Organization, is currently in talk for her uncanny resemblance to a famous girl group member, Irene of Red Velvet.

Lee Byung-hoon of the Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Assembly's Culture and Gymnasium Committee, said in a parliamentary audit of the Korean Tourism Organization today, "It's good to introduce virtual humans, but there are some problems such as infringement of portrait rights and illegal purchases of followers."

Lee Byung-hoon also asked, "I see Irene's and other celebrities' faces in the video. Did they sign a contract for this?", He continued, "There's also a bigger problem than Lizzie Yeo. It's that the Korean Tourism Organization purchased some number of followers. We checked the accounts and the operator said the purchase was done through a marketing agency as one of the processes to promote the account. But shouldn't the Korean Tourism Organization be responsible for this?"

According to JTBC's report the previous day, most of the followers of Lizzie Yeo's account have been confirmed to be 'fake accounts' that were purchased with money. The number of fake accounts that are following Lizzie Yeo's account is confirmed 3,000 last month and has reached 5,100 this month.

Vice President of the Korean Tourism Organization, Shin Sangyong, explained, "We have the responsibility to manage more thoroughly. This shouldn't have happened and we have taken stern measures regarding this matter". An official representative from the organization said, "We confirmed that the agency runs these fake accounts without consultation with the corporation. We have deleted 8,100 followers now. We are currently considering taking legal action against the agency."


In an interview with press, the corporation claimed, "We analyzed and combined 50,000 combinations of eyes, nose, and lips that the MZ generation prefers when we create Lizzie Yeo. We did not originally create it with Irene in mind"

-The resemblance is so uncanny that it gets me goosebumps all over my body...

-It's very cheap of them to purchase illegal fake accounts to follow their account...

-She doesn't really look like Irene in the video but did they really have to generate a virtual human...?

-So you're telling me the girl in the video is not a real human but just a CG...? That's terrifying...

-I don't think they only used Irene's face because she looks like other celebrities in some other scenes. That's very low of them. What's wrong with them?

-She looks like the combination of Irene and Joy...

-I just watched the video and it looks like they use Irene's face as the base and add a layer of Joy's face with an opacity of 30%ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She looks like a different person in different scenes. It's really scary.

-Stop generating virtual humans. It's very terrifying and makes me uncomfortable every time I see articles like thisㅠㅠ

-Is that even legal? This is getting me goosebumps all over my body...

-I would think it's just Irene if the title didn't say it was a virtual human...

-They should've just used their money to hire a real model for the video...

-Why are they always trying to shift the blame to the MZ Gen every time they have the chance to...

-What makes this any different than deep-fakes...?

'There's something that I hope you would do for me. Will you do me a favor?'

'What is it? Tell me'

'Will you marry me?'

theqoo 

-Is this some kind of drama or what😭😭😭

-Why on earth am I tearing up to see this?

-I can't believe this is not a scene from a drama... I usually have no interest in other people's proposals, but this one brings tears to my eyes...

-I'm not the one he proposed to, but why am I crying?ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Where can I watch the next episode of this drama?? Tell me quick!!!

-What theㅠㅠ It feels like I'm watching a dramaㅠㅠㅠ

-His wife is so adorable...

-I wonder who filmed the proposal...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why am I getting emotional over somebody else's proposal...

-I didn't even cry when my husband proposed to me, but I'm tearing up seeing this video...ㅠㅠㅠ

-Oh Gosh, I'm really jealous of them to the point that it brings tears to my eyesㅋㅋㅋ It's making me emotional...

-Namgoong Min is married???!!!

-I thought this was a scene from a drama...

-Why am I crying when I'm not even the one who's getting proposed to?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

 Hello. This is RBW. 

First, we would like to sincerely thank fans who have been showering ONEUS with lots of love and support. We will now speak about Ravn's private life that has been spread on social media.

We are now identifying the authenticity of the case. Until the fact-checking is finished, Ravn will be suspended from all activities. ONEUS will be actively promoting as 5-members.

We would like to notify you that we will be taking legal action with our legal team if this case turns out to be a groundless hoax. Also, we have checked that the other ONEUS' members are unrelated to this case.

We apologize for this sudden news that might have caused a shock to the fans. We will be doing our best to look into this case thoroughly. 

Thank you.

-Why would they talk about taking legal action if it turns out to be a groundless hoax? They should've just said that they're currently investigating this matter.

-It looks like he's going to serve in the military service to escape...

-He's not even one of the popular members in the group, just kick him out...

-Why did it take them so long to release this official statement?

-Seems like Ravn is denying all the accusations...

-I hope they will investigate this matter thoroughly...

-I wonder why did they mention taking legal action if it turns out to be a groundless hoax? It sounds like they're threatening the victim...

-I feel bad for the other members and their fans...

-I don't see anything wrong with this statement. He's still an artist under that company after all. I personally think the official statement was well-written.

-I heard they're going to hold a concert... The other members must be having a really hard time.

-What did the other members do to deserve going all of this?

-Don't do this to their fans...

-I feel like they're going to kick him out in the end...

The company of the male idol that became a hot issue released an official statement (ONEUS' Ravn)

 She performed at Akaraka Festival and flew to Paris right away. 
She attended Fred Show in Paris and flew to South Korea right after the show ended. Not to mention that it's quite a long flight. 
Yesterday, she performed at Chungbuk University in Chungnam. She also performed at different events and university festivals before this. 

She went to pre-record the MC Special Stage at 5AM today + Music Bank live show at 5PM + perform at Ajou University festival and Sungkyunkwan University festival (The time for their performance is still unconfirmed)

She has a fan signing event to attend the next day

And also, she has to go back to Paris to attend Miu Miu Show

Fans love seeing her attending various shows, but they are concerned for her and demand the company give her some time to rest

theqoo

-What if she passes out on stage?

-Wonyoung-ah, take care of your healthㅠㅠ Be strongㅠㅠ She's still a baby, though...

-That's too much for her... Long flights are very tiring. It must be really exhausting for herㅠㅠ

-She never passed out on stage and she has never even said that it's tiring her out. What are you guys being so concerned about?ㅋㅋㅋ So hilarious...

-I don't think they should be overworking her like there's no tomorrow... She still manages to act sweet in front of her fans in the middle of her packed schedule... It's bringing tears to my eyes...

-Fortunately, she still has a little bit of time to sleep during her flight. I hope no one takes pictures of her on the plane. 

-She's going to Paris again...?

-It's hilarious how some people think this is not a big deal because being busy is good for celebrities and Wonyoung has never said she was having a hard time. Keep in your mind that Jang Wonyoung is underage.

-I hope she, at least, gets some good sleep during the flightㅠㅠㅠ

-Oh Gosh... There's nothing she can do because she's at the peak of her fame nowㅠㅠ I just hope she's taking good care of her health...

-It's not like Wonyoung is sitting in an economic class seat... She has been in the industry for 5 years, I'm sure she knows some tips and tricks to take care of her health. Besides, the company knows they would get hate if something happens to Wonyoung. So I'm pretty sure they won't be that reckless. The only thing I can do as a fan right now is to cheer on Wonyoungㅠㅠㅠ

-Someone needs to go and save Wonyoung...

-I'm a fan of Wonyoung. I can totally understand this. I'm just very concerned for her health. 

Fans demand Jang Wonyoung to be given some time to rest after seeing how packed her schedule is this week

 The hacker suddenly posted a picture of Blackpink's Jisoo at 9AM. Looks like the picture was taken at Dior Fashion Show in Paris yesterday. You can read the caption of the picture below. 8 hours after the picture was posted, Jisoo posted it on her Instagram account. Who is this hacker???



pann
[+203][-59]

1. [+309][-9] It must be one of the staff. She sent that picture to the company first before posting it on her Instagram account. And that picture got leaked. 

2. [+237][-9] I think the picture must've been leaked by one of the staff... Isn't that crazy?

3. [+224][-8] It must be YG's staff or a close acquaintance...

4. [+212][-9] That means someone in YG is trying to stab Jennie from the back...

5. [+182][-10] YG is the culprit??

6. [+131][-1] No, Jisoo didn't post that picture because she saw the hacker's post. She was originally going to post this picture and someone knew about it. Why are you guys so slow?

The picture that V and Jennie's hacker posted today gave me chills

 Rosé was wearing a really tight dress that showed her body. She has a small waist and wide hips that make her body line look absolutely stunning. 


Look at her aura in this picture taken by a fansite


She was sitting in the middle of Hailey Bieber and Kate Moss



The fans were like, 'Rosé!! Rosé!!! Omg omg!!!' when she walked out of the hotel


She was born with such a beautiful body. I'm really jealous of how tall she is. I also love her ponytail. She looks so pretty.


pann
[+292][-76]

1. [+99][-5] This picture is legendary


2. [+95][-2] Her silhouette somehow looks like YSL's logo

3. [+71][-4] YSL Show is always held in front of the Eiffel Tower... Her aura here is absolutely insane...

4. [+53][-2] ,

5. [+52][-3] With Hailey Bieber and Kate Moss

Rosé's body look stunning in Paris Fashion Week Yves Saint Laurent Show

 Why is she like this?


pann
[+243][-61]

1. [+493][-49] She just killed the 'elegancy' of tattoo... Her tattoos look messy and cheap...

2. [+420][-18] Does she no longer have thoughts to be an actress? I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be able to film movies/dramas with those tattoos...

3. [+375][-6] It wouldn't be such a big matter if she was a singer, but she's an actress now. How is she going to portray different characters now? The characters she can play are going to be limited. She can't play an innocent character, she also can't star in historical dramas as well. It seems like something happened to her. Han Sohee removed all of her tattoos so that she can play various kind of characters.

4. [+323][-13] It seems like something happened to her, though?

5. [+220][-4] Her eyes look different. Her gaze has lost focus. 

6. [+220][-2] Forget about the tattoos, her face somehow looks different and her aura just seems off... I feel like something happened to her. 

7. [+162][-0] I don't want to write malicious comments and talk about how cheap her tattoos look. I'm really concerned because it seems to me that something happened to her and it affected her mentally. 

8. [+137][-1] Her eyes look so much darker nowㅠㅠ

 She performed at Yonsei Uni Akaraka Festival last Friday

She went straight to the airport to leave for Paris

She arrived in Paris on Saturday

She didn't even have the time to adapt to the time difference. She attended Fashion Week two days in a row as the brand ambassador of Fred

She flew back to South Korea last night

She arrived in South Korea today. Starting tomorrow, she has to perform at Ajou Uni, Chungbuk Uni, Chungnam Uni, and Sungkyunkwan Uni Festivals. 

She is probably going to have to perform on Music Bank MC Special Stage, therefore she, obviously, has to practice for that too

And then, she also has a fan signing event to attend on Saturday

After the fan signing event ends, she has to leave for Paris again for Fashion Week in the upcoming week. This time, she's going as the brand ambassador of MiuMiu.

Once she returns, she has to perform at two other university events, two festivals, and an awards ceremony.

[+321][-53]

1. [+60][-3] That's crazy... When does she get to sleep?

2. [+57][-23] I'm really looking forward to her career. I have never been so curious about an artist's growth besides IUㅠㅠㅠ

3. [+44][-4] It must be really exhausting and yet she always smiles at fans at the airport and even does fanservices...

4. [+41][-3] She's already busy enough now... I can't imagine how busier she would be once she turns into an adultㄷㄷ 

5. [+37][-2] This also happened to her teammate, Ahn Yujin. After performing in Germany, she had to leave for Thailand right away to film Earth Arcade. After that, she went back to South Korea and performed at university festival. They all need to take care of their health. 

6. [+10][-0] I think having 10 bodies is not even enough for her at this point...
