, ‘The Korea Communications Standards Commission convened a meeting on the 27th to come up with measures in response to the spread of deepfake pornography. They plan to finalize the measures at a full meeting on the 28th.’,

, ‘First, the KCSC decided to add a banner for reporting deepfake pornography victims on its website, in addition to the existing digital sex crime reporting banner. They also plan to increase the number of monitoring officers to monitor the situation in real-time.’,

, “They have been communicating with Telegram and email only, but they plan to establish a ‘hotline’ for immediate consultation to enhance responsiveness in preventing the spread of harm. They also plan to take all possible measures, including requesting police investigations for major cases of harm.”,
,
, ‘Recently, the KCSC has shown a strong stance in responding to false information, pornography, gambling, and drug-related information on online communities and social media. Regarding sexually false videos, they decided on a total of 7,187 correction requests last year, and until the end of July this year, they have already issued 6,434 correction requests, which is 90% of the previous year.’,
,
, “Previously, after a deepfake video combining a female student’s face with pornography was spread at a university, similar Telegram chat rooms have been discovered one after another, raising it as a social issue. The victims are not only university students but also minors such as high school students, as well as teachers and female soldiers. More than 100 schools are listed on the ‘victims’ school list,’ exacerbating public fear.”,
