Seoul/Panjab Post
In South Korea, a troubling trend has emerged as a new form of misogyny takes root: deepfake sex videos. Back in 2020, while investigating a blackmail ring forcing young women to produce explicit content, authorities stumbled upon something alarming—pornographic images with faces digitally superimposed.
Despite the National Assembly’s attempt to address the issue with a broadly worded law against deepfake pornography, the problem has only worsened. Recently, an alarming increase in the creation and distribution of deepfake sexual content has been reported. Many of these images and videos involve young women and girls, including minors, whose social media photos have been manipulated into explicit material using sophisticated deepfake technology.
These disturbing creations are being shared in large chat rooms on encrypted platforms like Telegram, with some groups boasting tens of thousands of members. The technology is so advanced that distinguishing the fake content from reality is often nearly impossible for the average person. As South Korea grapples with this new form of digital exploitation, experts are raising concerns about how rapidly technological advancements are being adopted without sufficient ethical safeguards.
