SMEnt to sue perpetrator of SNSD's fake nude pictures

21 Feb – SM Entertainment announced that they will take legal action towards the person who posted fake naked photos of SNSD members online.

As Jpopasia website reported, the agency made the statement after photos of the group were released on an adult website. Through a representative, SM Entertainment confirmed that, "We will take all steps necessary to right this wrong. The person should not just be held responsible for creating the phony picture, but also for uploading it and spreading it online."

The incident happened on 15 February after a nude photo of the group circulated online. It was further proven that the perpetrator used SNSD's faces and edited them onto other naked female bodies.

Two years ago, the group was also involved in a similar issue after their faces were pasted onto other model's bodies. However, the case was dropped after the police discovered that the suspect was a teenager.
