Controversy is mounting over the attitudes of high school students and their parents, who are being investigated for creating deepfakes depicting the sexual exploitation of classmates.

According to SBS’s “Curious Story Y,” which aired on the 6th, high school student A, who was booked for producing and distributing deepfake sexual exploitation, first contacted him directly and said, “I want to clear up the misunderstanding,” but when the production team asked, “Let’s meet and talk,” he said, “There’s an essay test in October.” He refused, saying, “I’m going to a reading room and I’m in a management academy.”

Victim B said on the air: “The police called me. I am the victim. “I asked if you could come tomorrow,” he said. “When I looked at the composite photo, I took off my underwear and (synthesized) my breast.”

Mrs B said: “I heard the name of the perpetrator and he was a classmate from high school,” adding: “I can’t sleep well and I started going to the hospital. I take sleeping pills before going to bed,” he complained.

Another victim, C, complained: “I haven’t even bought Wonhan yet, but I don’t know why I did it.”

When the production team asked A, “Have you never made deepfakes of sexual exploitation before?” A said, “I don’t think I can tell you that.” “This is not the end of the matter,” he said.

He later told the production team, “I’ve been thinking a lot about the coverage,” adding, “But I don’t think I can respond to the coverage because I’m too busy studying now and don’t have enough time.”

The production team visited Mr. A’s father on behalf of Mr. A, who was busy.

When reporters asked, “Do you know that what your son created is illegal?” A’s father said, “I’m not interested. The kid is taking a test this time. I have to write an essay in October and the SAT in November,” he said.

When the production team said, “The victims are also taking the test,” A’s father said, “He studied for the test and he has one month left now. I was very stressed about it, he said. “I’m investigating (the police) now.”

When the production team tried to ask more questions, A’s father stopped saying, “I’m not interested,” and turned around.

According to statistics on deepfake crimes released by the National Police Agency on July 3, 73.5% of teenagers were arrested up to July this year.
