A man has received an 18 months prison sentence, suspended for three years, for creating and distributing 330 explicit deepfakes of female kpop idols, including aespa, LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans.

The court stated, "We determined the sentence after taking into account all the circumstances, such as the fact that some of the victims reached an agreement, this was his first offense, and he did not receive any economic benefit."
