Allkpop Removes Ailee Nude Photos From Website After Fans Post Thousands Of Angry Comments

Allkpop readers revisiting a Nov. 10 article featuring unauthorized nude photos of the solo singer Ailee may be surprised to find the photos have been removed from the website.

"Umm, where are the photos? I saw them before. Allkpop you removed the photos," allkpop reader Haelic wrote on Tuesday.

Haelic was one of over 6,000 fans that have left overwhelmingly negative comments on the article featuring the Ailee nude photos and allkpop's follow-up piece featuring a statement from the singer's record label YMC Entertainment and an explanation from the website's editors.

"Are you scared now?" Haelic asked the allkpop editors. "Famous artists unfollowed you on Twitter....you're scared now aren't you? Remove the whole article please!"

Much of the vitriol among readers appears to be focused around the fact that Vice President of Content for allkpop and the website's parent company 6Theory Media of Edgewater, NJ, admitted he attempted to sell the Ailee nude photos to the Korean publication Dispatch, after a phone call implicating him was released.

"I just signed in to say f**k you to Daniel Lee and allkpop," reader Bokdol wrote on Monday. "That is all."

"They could have easily blurred most of the picts but they only did as minor a job as possible and lied about having them, then lied about trying to sell them," Bokdol added.

"It's because of Daniel Lee that Ailee has this problem. It was disgusting how they pretended to be innocent."

Lee, who used to date Ailee, reportedly got ahold of the photos after the 24-year-old singer had been involved in a modeling scam and asked for his advice.

Three days after allkpop published the unauthorized nude photos of Ailee, which were censored with small black boxes, the allkpop VP told the host of the South Korean program "One Night of TV Entertainment," that although he attempted to sell the photos, he did not leak them to his employer, according to eNEWS.

"I just really wanted to see if it was possible [to sell pictures] and I innocently asked. I had no other intention."

The allkpop VP, who said he hasn't spoken to Ailee since publishing the nude pictures, denied reports that he leaked the photos to the website he works for.

"All I can say is I'm sorry," Lee said.

"A misunderstanding happened and I can only say sorry about it. But what I want to say is that I did not leak the photos."

Previous requests for comment from allkpop have been ignored. Their listed phone number has been disconnected.
