OP wrote, "They really look the same. It's even more creepy in the video. I know this was done without intentions but if its this easy for anyone to synthesize without any awareness but what if there are no legal punishments? (Right now there are news about female idol deep fakes). And do you think this will stay an issue among girl group idol deep fakes? Of course fans shouldn't be doing it but if we keep letting it happen, who knows what will happen in the future. I'm worried that my face will end up on some woman on a porno and I'll never even be aware of it.."
- [+340, -10] I was shocked to see a thumbnail of a famous girl group idol while watching porn. Of course I didn't watch it but it was so real I got goosebumps. I feel like antis are going to make this into ammunition to troll. We need to get rid of deepfake.
- [+264, -0] Wow it's really natural ;; Really scary
- [+211, -2] Huh? Is this for real?
- [+167, -0] Fact: 98% of deep fake videos are said to be used for pornography and 25% of the female faces used in those videos are Korean celebrities.
- [+114, -0] The problem with deepfake is that influential politicians and entertainers can cultivate fake news and fabricate using deepfake technology. The majority of the public is easily riled up by fake news and once exposed to fakes, people who don't care about the facts make and spread second and third rumors. If people start using to harass celebrities, then it'll really get bad

- [+68, -0] This isn't just a problem with idols anymore. On IG and Katalk people post this as ㅈㅣㅇㅣㄴㄴㅡㅇㅇㅛㄱ ;;; After seeing how creepy all of it was, I deleted all my Instagram and Katalk posts and turned my accounts private.
- [+16, -0] Guys, this is a bit of a side note but please don't post your face on SNS. This is a world no one can believe in anymore. So many people from general public have become victims already.
What are your thoughts on the issue?
