satoori 45,814 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Korean Streaming Platform “Wavve” Accidentally Airs Pornography In The Middle Of A Children’s Movie Wavve is “working on resolving the issue” now. Wavve, as one of Korea’s many video streaming platforms, offers its subscribers with view-on-demand reruns of popular television programs from broadcasting stations like KBS, MBC, and SBS. In addition, wavve also streams K-Movies — including some for children, like Pororo, Cyberspace Adventure. Unfortunately, wavve “accidentally” aired pornographic bits mixed into the said movie and received harsh criticism from unsuspecting parents who played the content for their young children. On January 29, one subscriber shared online said, "Is anyone watching wavve right now? The pornography…I was playing the Pororo movie and it’s showing pornography in the middle of this children’s movie… I was super shocked! I can’t believe they let this happen. Be careful. You’ll be showing your kids porn if you show them Pororo. I tried calling the customer service center, but no one is answering. I’m so upset…" According to this subscriber, wavve aired multiple 3-to-5-second segments of uncensored adult sex scenes mixed in between the original scenes over the duration of a minute in the middle of Pororo, Cyberspace Adventure. Other subscribers added to the claim by sharing their personal experiences with wavve. One included a screenshot of the wavve app failing to operate smoothly while streaming Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, and said, "wavve has been like this for days now. I’m so mad." These subscribers tried reporting the issue to wavve, but allegedly no one was able to reach the platform’s customer service department. Later that day, however, wavve uploaded an official statement to their website, apologizing for the inconvenience and promising to repair the service as soon as possible. [Notice] We’re Resolving The Playback Issue With Live Channels And Some VOD Contents Hello, this is wavve. First, thank you for using wavve’s streaming service and we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Since January 27, Wednesday, 6:20AM, we have been impacted by a server issue and some live channels and VOD contents are unavailable. We are working on resolving the issue as soon as possible. Once we have the full service back up, we will notify you. Thank you. Specifically about the pornographic content, wavve simply claimed that “the files got mixed up” while trying to fix the server issue. Regardless, subscribers remain frustrated with wavve as they “aren’t getting full use of the service [they] paid for“. cr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if by some chance it was a mistake, then that's some extreme incompetence on the worker's part and does not belong on their post. But I really doubt it as the porn played in clips intermittently, and who the fuck has their porn downloaded and in the same file as their work carpet? It appears intentional. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felidae 2,742 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Lmao Accidentally my arse. If the 3-5 seconds doesn't usually happen, it's mostly intentional for whatever reason. They can't be sued for sexual harassment of underage right. It's SK *shrugs*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhateverBitch 1,844 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Unless they are aired on the same network (even if it's on different channels), which I don't think so, it can't be an accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighterxx 12,204 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 streaming services directly upload complete video, so there is no way it can be just mixed up, someone needs to edit it into video in another program, it was definitely intentional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelkoya 17,769 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 This got me thinking, showing the penetration in porn is illegal in SK right? I wonder if this isn’t a way to sell illegal porn, tempering with a harmless movie and adding porn scenes that would be illegal to sell in SK. And the streaming platform might have bought a tempered version. Just a thought I got I have nothing to support it on but it just got me thinking haha. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittenae 147 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don't believe this happen accidently. It seems intentional like a prank imo. A prank by crazy sick twisted mofo using a children's movie at that knowing the audience were children. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how wavve get the films they put on their platform but it could come from there, but weird that no one verified the content before putting it online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaebyTae 180 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I dont think it was "accidentally" things like that don't happen by accident, if it was a server issue other content would of been affected too, but is was just poporo, it seem a little weird to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
