A hyper-realistic video generated by the AI showing the SEO-Joon and Kim Da-Mi park that share an intimate kiss has become viral through social media platforms causing confusion, recourse and renewed debate on the ethics of deepfake content.
The video, which imitates a moment behind the scenes or sincere between the two ITEWON class Star, it was not a real interaction, but a sophisticated manufacture created entirely with artificial intelligence. His disturbing realism up to subtle facial expressions, corners and lighting has led many spectators to believe that the movie was authentic.
Although Park Seo Joon and Kim da showed me a strong chemistry on the screen in the 2020 successful drama, professional colleagues have always been. While the fans “sent” the two heavily during and after the show transmission, none of the parts has ever confirmed or mentioned in a relationship in real life.
What feeds public indignation is not only the virality of the clip, but apparently it seems convincingly real. Fans enlarged the comment sections with excessive reactions and wild speculations, while others condemned the improper use of AI and Deepfake technology. Critics indicate the largest dangers of the manipulated media and the lack of regulation surrounding this content.
This is not the first time that the combinations of celebrities have been forged with the IA. As Deepfake’s tools become more accessible, the videos published by fans who simulate romantic moments between actors have grown alarming ranging from innocent hugs to the bed scenes manufactured fully. Often created by existing movies, these changes can mislead the spectators and violate the rights, privacy and the public image of the artists.
The accident of the SEO Joon park – Kim da me exemplifies the darker side of the AI when it is left without control. In an era in which digital fakes can be generated with some clicks, celebrities, in particular the actors, are increasingly vulnerable to being misrepresented or exploited by excessively zealous fans.
