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.

exactly! i wouldn't be surprised if it was one of their own workers too.

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.

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.

In a country where porn is illegal I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a lot of traffic around it, what made me think about that is the accent on “uncensored” in the article. 🤔

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

Good point. I mean, nth room was basically able to hide on a website that seemed on the surface normal.
