Star Magic, the management of the nation’s girl group, BINI, announced that they’re set to take legal action against individuals creating “deep fake” photos and videos of the group.
On Monday, September 2, Star Magic shared a statement on their social media accounts citing their intention.
“It has come to our attention that there are malicious, edited, deep fake photos and videos of BINI members circulating on social media. We strongly condemn these harmful acts. Our team has already taken action to remove some of these accounts,” the post read.

The statement also added the management is “working with the proper government agencies and authorities to identify the individuals behind these acts and pursue legal actions. The safety and well-being of BINI remain our top priority. We will continue to monitor and take all necessary measures against any form of exploitation or harassment.”
The statement comes after the group’s fans, or BLOOMS, called the attention of Star Magic after discovering sexually exploitative deep fake photos and videos allegedly containing the members’ faces circulating on Telegram.
