STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, J) has made it clear they will not tolerate the creation of harmful deepfake content.

On September 6, the group's agency, High Up Entertainment, released a firm statement: "We will take strong legal action without leniency against those producing deepfake content targeting STAYC."

This follows a rise in deepfake-related sexual crimes, where women's images are manipulated into obscene material using AI technology.

High Up Entertainment emphasized their zero-tolerance policy, stating they will pursue strict legal measures against anyone involved in the creation or spread of these malicious and illegal videos.

The agency reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding STAYC’s dignity and rights, vowing to take rigorous action against any activities that damage the group's reputation.

In light of these issues, High Up Entertainment assured fans they are actively monitoring the situation and will continue to do so to prevent further harm.

Meanwhile, STAYC is gearing up for a comeback in October, and fans can expect a powerful return from the rising group.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
