The transgender Korean celebrity Harisu is angry after a pirated video clip
showing her naked was posted online. The 14-minute video clip was posted on an
online portal and a game website.
It was made in Thailand in 2002 to go with her nude photo album and made
headlines as plenty of money was invested to use a US$4
million luxury villa and privately owned beach as the location.
At the time, the album and clip were expected to generate more than W5 billion
in sales and triggered a flood of nude photo albums for mobile phones.
Harisu herself spotted the clip after logging on to her favorite game website
on Tuesday afternoon. She immediately asked for it to be deleted.
She confirmed another posting of the same clip at a portal and obtained the IP
address of the person who posted it there. "I agreed with my former agency that
neither of us would use the video clip for commercial purposes when our
contract expired," she said. "I'm so surprised that it's available now, after
four years."
Harisu says she will report the person who posted the clip with the help of
cyber police. "She has put up for a long time with Internet users who illegally
distribute paid content like video clips and nude photo albums," her agency
G&F Entertainment said. "But she decided that enough is enough, and she
will ask police to investigate."
