The story about V and Jennie and the photos that are said to be dating seems to have come to an end. The news subsided quickly after many netizens gave evidence that Jennie and G-Dragon are still dating.
Although the news has ended, the suspicions related to who spread rumors between the two idols still cause many people's interest. Many people wonder if this person can come back again or if their act is considered illegal.
Here's what the Korean lawyer said about the case:
In the past few weeks, netizens seem to have been in an uproar when there were never-before-seen photos of V and Jennie constantly appearing. It continues to spark dating rumors between two of Korea's most famous idols.
Besides, the person distributing rumor is also said to hold many other private photos of the two. Many people believe that the phone of one of the two idols has been hacked and the hacker has obtained these data.
In addition to being interested in rumors, many people have condemned the person who spread the photos. Specifically here is a person named gurumiharibo. This person is said to have hacked the phones of Jennie and some BLACKPINK members, although he denies all charges and does not provide where the photos were taken.
Recently, lawyer Cho Ki Hyun said that if the account hacking really took place, the person who hacked the account and leaked the photos of Jennie and V may have to receive a very high penalty. According to Mr. Cho, anyone who leaks secrets or other people's information will be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 50 million KRW.
If the offender intentionally infringes on other people's information networks and reveals secrets, they will be punished more severely. In other words, if the hacker intentionally distributes the image, he can be punished with up to 7 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of 75 million KRW.
Even if this person blackmails Jennie and V's management agency, he can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 20 million KRW. Considering the actions that gurumiharibo has committed, it is very likely that if the case is clarified and presented to the court, he could face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Currently, the case has been sunk, but fans are still calling for V and Jennie's management company to protect the two idols' private lives. Many of you also gave a lot of evidence and sent emails to HYBE to take legal measures to handle those who spread rumors affecting V.
