Cube Entertainment stated that they will take legal action against the people behind the alleged nude photos of Hallyu superstar Rain. While the agency claimed that the photo is fake, they will file charges against the one behind the scandalous photo, Koreaboo reports.
The photo shows a nude man in the shower, with his eyes blurred. The said photograph was rumored to be from the lost phone of Rain's girlfriend and popular Hallyu actress, Kim Tae Hee. According to allkpop, the photo in question comes with the message, "Rain's girlfriend Kim Tae Hee lost her phone, and his naked photo has been leaked."
In a statement released by Cube Entertainment on November 13, they said, "We are preparing to take legal steps against the original leaker of the photo. The man in the photo is not Rain."
The singer-actor's lawyer also spoke about the issue. "At first, we were not going to file a charge for this baseless rumor," said Rain's attorney.
"However, some acquaintances of Rain really thought it was him and many more are starting to believe the rumor. Therefore, we have decided to take legal action. The photo was spread for malicious reasons. If the photo was intended to be photoshopped, then they would have pasted Rain's face onto the image and would not need to censor the eyes. By censoring the eyes, it is apparent that the photo is being spread with ill intentions."
KDaramaStars noted that man's face in the photograph cannot be seen clearly, making it impossible to recognize who it really is.
The lawyer added, "Also, Kim Tae Hee never lost her phone. Hence, this case is considered to be executed with an ill-natured purpose. Even though the photo was only spread on the internet, we decided to take strong legal action against the person playing such jokes."
It was reported that the alleged nude photos of the singer-actor went viral on Kakaotalk as well as in different fan cafes online.
According to reports, Rain's representative will file a lawsuit on November 14.
