The ‘Taldeok Camp’ that these groups typically mentioned is a malicious cyber wrecker channel based on YouTube, which has been at the center of controversy by spawning rumors related to numerous K-pop singers such as BTS, Ivee, New Genes, and Aespa. come. They have been producing fake news through videos explaining false rumors such as unfounded dating rumors, album hoarding rumors, discord within the group, and bullying rumors.

It has been difficult to proceed with related lawsuits due to the nature of YouTube being based overseas, but Starship Entertainment, Ive’s agency, was the first to take up the sword last July. Migul announced that Google headquarters is proceeding with civil and criminal lawsuits and overseas lawsuits against the channel in question, foreshadowing full-scale legal action. The channel operator posted an apology and belatedly deleted the video on the channel.
