In a shocking breach of privacy, unauthorised videos of K-pop band NCT's member Jaehyun's hotel room have surfaced online, igniting outrage and prompting swift action from his agency, SM Entertainment. The incident involved an unnamed individual who trespassed into Jaehyun's hotel room during his absence.

The trespasser recorded a video inside the hotel room and subsequently shared it on social media platforms. The agency has announced its intention to pursue legal action against the person responsible for this invasive act, commonly referred to as a sasaeng, a term used in South Korea to describe those who invade the privacy of public figures.

On Tuesday, SM Entertainment released a statement condemning the leaked video as a "severe violation" of Jaehyun's privacy.&nbsp;The agency vowed to gather evidence against the initial uploader and all those involved in circulating the video. They also stated their plans to collaborate with both domestic and international websites, as well as legal firms, to ensure a thorough investigation by law enforcement agencies.

It read, “The leaked video is an illegal act that severely violates the artist’s privacy. We are collecting evidence against the initial uploader and all those who distribute the video. We will request the cooperation of domestic and international sites as well as legal firms to ensure a thorough investigation is conducted by law enforcement agencies.”

The incident came to light on Monday when multiple videos emerged online, providing an unauthorised tour of NCT 127 member Jaehyun's hotel room. The footage was recorded during the group's US tour in October 2022 and showed a variety of private belongings, including luggage in the hotel corridor, stage outfits on the bed, food items, and other personal items. Additionally, the video revealed a set of pajamas that Jaehyun had worn in a live session on NCT's channel.

The individual responsible for recording the video managed to gain access to Jaehyun's hotel room by reportedly stealing his key card. The videos were initially recorded last year but only recently gained widespread attention on the internet, sparking conversations about privacy invasion and celebrity rights.

The leak has sparked a strong backlash from fans and netizens alike. Many have expressed their dismay at the violation of Jaehyun's personal space, demanding swift justice.

NCT member Jaehyun's hotel room videos leak online; agency threatens to take legal action

We often see BTS' fans, who are lovingly called Army,&nbsp;shouting "I purple you" as soon as RM, Jin, Suga,&nbsp;J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook take over the stage. It's basically fans' way of saying, "I love you," using the K-pop band's signature colour. Fans also get the popular BTS phrase tattooed on their arm to show their love and appreciation for the 7-member boy band from South Korea. But have you ever wondered how BTS or the Army came up with the iconic motto? The origin story of&nbsp;the "I purple you" phrase is as interesting as the K-pop band's journey as global stars.

Today, the colour purple is synonymous with BTS but that wasn't the case always.&nbsp;In fact, their tie to the colour was totally accidental and unintended. Kim Taehyung, whose stage name is V, first said "I purple you" during BTS' third muster,&nbsp;an annual fan meeting held in November 2016.

To explain the reason behind using the colour "purple" instead of "love", V said,&nbsp;"Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last colour of all the rainbow colours, so it means I will trust and love you for a long time."

Later, however, V admitted that he completely made it up. "I just made it up," V said, before adding, "I wish I can see you for a long time, just like the meaning of purple. We'll always trust you and go up the stairs with you."&nbsp;

TIME Magazine has finally named its Entertainer of the Year for 2022.

BLACKPINK becomes first girl group in history to be named TIME Magazine’s Entertainer Of The Year

BLACKPINK's management company YG Entertainment has taken a strong stand for&nbsp;K-pop star Jennie Kim. The agency has the police in South Korea to find out how her private photos ended up online and who accessed them without her permission.

Ever since Jennie's photos with BTS band member V surfaced on Twitter and Telegram, people have been speculating that the two are in love, but are forced to keep it private.&nbsp;However, the two have not commented on their relationship status yet.

Meanwhile, the K-pop agency has shared a statement to address the photo leak. It says that Jennie had faced "personal attacks" and "sexual harassment" as a result of the leak and that it has asked the police to investigate "the original distributor" of the photos, and would take "all possible legal action without any leniency to prevent further damage in the future".

The statement further read, "Photos that were circulated online were illegally released, regardless of the intentions behind them and without the consent of the individual involved."

YG also asked netizens to not share those photos more widely to respect the singer's privacy. Two accounts that had shared the pictures have been suspended.

Meanwhile, popular K-pop band BTS's management company Big Hit Music has filed a separate criminal complaint against defamatory posts containing "ill-intentioned rumours" and&nbsp;"false information".&nbsp;Although, the complaint did not specifically mention V and Jennie's pictures as the cause of its legal action.

South Korean entertainment agencies have recently started taking stringent action against leaks and rumours. South Korea's defamation laws can be used against individuals who post&nbsp;defamatory or malicious remarks online.&nbsp;The country's&nbsp;law also gives individuals a legal right to their photos and images, which means&nbsp;anyone who posts&nbsp;leaked photos without permission is open to prosecution.
