“The leaker didn’t directly hack those photos”…The story behind the spreading of Jennie and V’s dating photos

Amid hacking suspicions as dating photos of BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS V were leaked, the possibility that the photo distributor hired a hacker was mentioned.

SBS Entertainment News reported on Sep 6th, “There is a possibility that Jennie and V’s photo distributor did not directly hack, but hired a hacker.”

Anonymous informant A said in an interview with the media, “Judging from the photos’ sensitivity and rarity, it is most likely that the person who opened the Twitter account and Telegram rooms hacked the phone or SNS account of one of the victims. There is a slight possibility that they did not directly hack, but hired a hacker.”

“In the case of hackers, they tend to show off the result of their hacking. However, considering that the photo leaker is claiming that “I am not a hacker,” I speculated that this person may have used a hacker rental service. In addition, the possibility of their private SNS accounts being hacked is low. There seems to be a problem with either of the celebrities’ phones.”

Earlier, Jennie and V were embroiled in a dating rumor once again after their dating photos were spread throughout various SNS and online communities. Some have speculated that those photos were taken from their private SNS accounts or that their mobile phones were hacked. The agencies of both sides have not expressed any position on the situation.
