Recently, a Chinese beauty content creator 'Chi Yu' [China IU] with a face similar to IU appeared on a Tik Tok wearing clothes similar to IU and using her unique expressions. A lot of netizens mistakenly took her for IU and sent her messages in support.
It was later revealed that she used 'deep fake' technology to synthesize her face to resemble IU as much as possible in order to market her content. An expert has asked for investigations into allegations of people using celebrity's images to create deep fake content.
In the meantime, due to increase use of deep fake videos on Twitter, netizens posted a petition on Twitter asking for "strong punishment of illegal video 'deep fake' sites and users that cause celebrities to suffer." As of the 28th, the petition has been signed by 381,160 people.
