New Jersey Police Allegedly Confirm Ailee Filed Report After Nude Modeling Scam That Led To Allkpop Photo Scandal

When the website allkpop published unauthorized nude photos of the singer Ailee on Nov. 10, some fans questioned her record label's assertion that she had been tricked into taking the pictures.

Yet representatives from Ailee's label YMC Entertainment appear to be telling the truth about the origin of the photos.

A Korean news outlet claims to have attained the official report Ailee filed with the New Jersey Palisades Park Police Department back in 2009, alleging she was tricked into sharing nude photos with a man pretending to offer her a job as a lingerie model.

Ailee's police report describes the evening in question, a night in August where she said she was chatting with a friend on Facebook between the hours of 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

According to the publication eNEWS, the friend recommended she send 50 nude photos to a third party, presumably for the modeling scam. Ailee reportedly realized her Facebook account had been hacked into shortly thereafter.

KpopStarz's requests for comment from the Palisades Park Police Department were not immediately responded to.

"Ailee did report the lingerie scam to the police in 2009," a YMC Entertainment rep confirmed on Monday.  "We have records of the investigation and confirmation. We are currently working with a lawyer in the US to take legal action."

Yet Ailee appears determined not to let the allkpop nude photo incident slow her down.

On Sunday, the 24-year-old singer, whose real name is Amy Lee, performed at the "We Are One: We Are Companions" concert, celebrating Indonesian people working in Korea.

The South Korean vice minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism presented Ailee with a Minister's Award at the event.

The singer appeared upbeat while accepting her 2013 Mnet Asian Music Award (MAMA) in the category of Best Female Vocal Performance at Friday's televised ceremony in Hong Kong.

Dressed in a high-cut black and while ensemble that stood in stark contrast to the revealing outfits many of her fellow female stars were wearing, Ailee dedicated the award to her fans, affectionately referred to as 'Aileeans.'

"First of all I'd like to thank every Aileean, every fan out there that's been with me every step of the way," said the 24-year-old singer. "Thank you so much!"
