The dating rumors surrounding BTS's V and BLACKPINK's Jennie remain rampant, making them the main topic of many headlines. As their respective agencies, Big Hit Music and YG Entertainment, stay mum about it, the leaker bravely dares the companies to sue him if he indeed manipulated the snaps.
Confident that the photos were real, the leaker asked legal representatives to contact them and file a complaint. However, a professional white hacker and security expert seemed to contend that the pictures were real.
News about the two K-pop giants continuously trend on Naver, but YG and Big Hit have yet to break their silence about it. AllKpop noted that the person who leaked the photos claimed they had sent several messages to Jennie but no avail.
They even revealed that they contacted two people as soon as they saw the photos. So, how did they obtain the snaps?
They explained that they had already dropped a big hint about it in their last tweet before Twitter suspended their account. "Of course, only a few people know this," they stated.
The leaker also asserted that they didn't edit anything besides adding a watermark. If they did manipulate the snaps, they wanted Jennie, V, or their legal representatives to contact them and file a complaint.
If people believed he did something wrong that was enough for him to be arrested, then YG and Big Hit should also sue them.
Meanwhile, a professional white hacker and security expert weighed in on the controversial pictures of V and Jennie together. Former entertainment industry journalist Lee Jin Ho claimed on his YouTube channel that the professional revealed the photos weren't edited.
The expert explained that he didn't see any trace of editing or manipulation in the leaked snaps after investigating. Allegedly, the images were stored on mobile or cloud accounts, and the photos might have leaked after being hacked.
The leaker's move to release the photos one by one might also be their way of attracting the victims' attention by saying that they had "sensitive information" about them. If the person behind this revealed the pictures all at once, the interest might quickly fade.
So, they continued dragging them this way and used the media to negotiate with the victims. "Real private photos are only shown to the parties without revealing them online, and there are times when they ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars," the expert revealed. "The most expensive case I knew was 1.5 billion won (around 1.1 million US dollars)."
