Trouble Maker HyunA Rumor Starting Point App Developer Apologizes

Trouble Maker's HyunA and Hyunseung are in the midst of another malicious rumor, and the app "I'm a Reporter Too" was the starting point of the rumor. GE Software's official made an apology statement.

The official Kim Dae Won revealed on the 15th, "First off, I want to apologize as the app developer for having brought harm to someone."

He also expressed disappointment in the app users' immature actions. He said, "I thought it was just one of the many parody apps. Instead of uploading an article link, users uploaded a screen capture photo. The authenticity was unverifiable, and has caused controversies."

Representative Kim is currently modifying some features of the app. He said, "There are downsides to the app, especially because some users upload prank articles about sex, and upload parody content that criticizes others. From now on we'll use an image to express that it is a fake article, or we will put a greater emphasis that these contents are parodies without any truth to them."

On January 10th a rumor started regarding 4MINUTE's HyunA and BEAST's Hyunseung. There were infamous claims surrounding these unmarried two, and the rumor spread like wildfire as if it were true.

The rumor was started by a photo uploaded onto the "I'm a Reporter Too" app. The modified image became a problem because upon first glance it seemed like a real photo. The image looked like it was a screen capture of a commonly used website. It had the Naver news webpage design, newspaper name, reporter name, and even an e-mail address that was all made up.

HyunA and Hyunseung's agency Cube Entertainment are looking to catch the person responsible for the first person to create and spread this 'fake news.' They've put in a request to the Seoul Gangnam Police Cyber Crime Scene Investigation team on the 13th to find this person. They've expressed that they will be taking strong legal action.
