The post stated that the fansites Eudemonic and Sodapop were run by the same person. In September 2024, Starship Entertainment had blacklisted multiple people for their involvement in deepfake crimes against their artists, namely, Wonyoung. The person behind these fansites was allegedly on the list.
IVE Leeseo’s fansite, @eudemonic_kr, and LE SSERAFIM Eunchae’s fansite, @sodapop_ec are the same people, and I’m trying to publicize this matter. This fansite master was blacklisted due to his involvement in Jang Wonyoung’s telegram deepfake incident on September 2024, but they did not list the specific reason. I hope Starship Entertainment will not only release the full blacklist, but also take legal action in order to protect the artists.

The list only states the fansite master’s name and birthday, listing that they were warned after the official announcement on September 2, 2024. Although they did not state the reason, the timing aligned with the deepfake incident that shook K-Pop in late August and early September 2024.
Wonyoung was one of the idols targeted in the crimes, to which Starship Entertainment made an announcement about on September 2. Other fans are deeply disappointed in the fansite master’s actions.
