AKP staff member defends Allkpop on twitter

I was also quick to blame AKP but he's right that these pics have been floating around on a 4chan-like img board for months and also on tumblr since June of this year.

 

But yeah AKP is desperate for views so they'd basically do anything to be controversial. Not surprised to see writers not only breaking the story but also stirring shit after that.

It's not fucking news. Even Dispatch knew that.

 

"Shame since her career was taking off. don't see her surviving this"

 

Throwing her under the bus like this when she did those exclusive interviews for them before. Way to burn bridges right when industry was starting to take you seriously, AKP. Nobody will collaborate with you now.

except for the alleged ex-bf angle, which puts them at the center of the story.

If the ex-bf that received the pics from her is on their staff, how did they not expect the blow back ?

I'm more pissed about how he's like "she's over" & "How is she a victim?"

Yeah forgot about that... But then why would those pics first leak online months before the story breaks? It could just be a random Knetizen that found the source of AKP's story and tried to sell it to Korean media outlets. I think that makes the most sense unless that convo of Dispatch and the ex-bf was prior to the story breaking, which would make Allkpop the #1 suspect.

It's a bit tricky... I mean yeah she's a victim in the sense that very personal pictures of here are now public BUT she did take them herself or at posed in front of her webcam knowing that someone was watching. 

 

If she's over.... That depends. The big question is how will the public take this? It's not really up to her, sadly, since general public popularity is basically her entire career at this point.

Yes, the Dispatch convo is supposed to be from earlier, before the story broke: he was trying to sell them the exclusive story to publish the pics but they turned the offer down...

Okay then Allkpop's involvement in this is pretty much undeniable. They shot themselves in the foot by not claiming the pics were sent in anonymously. It's too bad they covered their asses enough to not be able to get sued.

The only weird thing is how these pics have been floating around online for at least 5 months prior to today... Did multiple sources have the pics? And how the hell did no one recognize her for that long? I don't know about that board but it seems pretty active.
