Hello. This is YMC Entertainment.



In relation to the controversial pictures of Ailee before her debut, we will be revealing the information that has been confirmed. We hope you will understand that it took us a long time to check the information in order to tell you the more accurate truth. 확인 된 내용(content)을 말씀드리고자 합니다. 당사로서는(Party) 보다 정확한 사실을 말씀드리기 위해 확인을 하다보니 많은 시간이 걸린 점에 대해 양해(understanding)부탁드립니다.



While Ailee was a resident in America, she received a casting offer to be a famous underwear model in America. The relevant picture has been confirmed to be a picture taken on the pretext of testing the cameras. Among the pictures revealed on the anonymous website, a portion was still unclear during our investigation so we are continuing to investigate them. 해당 사진은 에일리가 미국 거주(residence) 당시 미국의 유명 속옷 모델 캐스팅 제의(offer)를 받아, 카메라테스트용이라는(camera testing) 명목하에(on the pretext) 촬영된 사진으로 확인되었으며, 익명의(anonymous) 웹사이트를 통해 공개 된 사진중에 일부(portion)는 사실확인이 불분명한(uncertain) 내용들도 있어 계속 확인 중에 있습니다.



In relation to the leaked pictures, Ailee had been told that in order to accurately judge her body figure, she had to participate in a nude shoot. Because it was a test to be a famous underwear model, Ailee believed her personal information would be protected and complied. 본 유출사진과(leaked) 관련하여 에일리는 몸매를 정확히(accurately) 판단하기 위해 누드촬영을 해야한다는 말에, 유명 속옷 모델의 테스트이기에 개인신상정보가(personal information) 보호될(protect) 것으로 믿고 촬영에 응했습니다.



However, after the test shoot finished, the party who had first made the offer stopped all contact so that the concerned Ailee made a decision and reported it to the nearby police station. 그러나 테스트 촬영을 마친 뒤 제의를 해 온 측과 연락이 두절(stopped)되었으며, 걱정이 된 에일리는 고심끝에(concluded) 현지 경찰에 신고를 했습니다.



After the police looked into it, it was becoming clear that the involved party was committing fraud while targeting female students in a portion of the university's town. There appeared to be a couple of victims besides Ailee, but due to the fraudulent party's clever method of using the internet, the police were unable to smoothly investigate and make any arrests. 경찰 확인 결과 일부대학가의(part of university town) 여대생들을 상대로 사기 행각을(commit a fraud) 벌였던 일행의 소행으로(the party's act) 판명되었으며(becoming clear), 당시 에일리 외에 여러명의 피해자가 있었음에도 인터넷을 이용한 사기단의 교묘한(tactful/clever) 수법으로(means) 인해 현지 경찰조사가 원활히(smoothly) 되지 않아 끝내 사기단 검거(arrest)는 이뤄지지 못했다고 합니다.



After reporting to the police, Ailee, who felt deeply worried and uneasy, visited her previous boyfriend who was working at All KPop, and told him everything and consulted him about what happened. While consulting the previous boyfriend, who should have fully grasped and handled the information about these pictures, Ailee was persuaded by him to send him the pictures from the shoot. 경찰 신고 후 걱정과 불안감에 빠져있던 에일리는 현재 ALL KPOP에 재직중인(in-service) 에일리의 전 남자친구에게 본 내용에 대해 털어놓고 상의(consulted)를 했으며, 상의 도중 사진의 내용을 정확히 파악해야하고(grasp/understanding) 대처(handle)해야한다는 전 남자친구의 설득(persuasion)으로 인해 전 남자친구에게 촬영 사진을 보내주게되었다고 합니다.



The above information is all the true information in relation to the leaked pictures. 유출된(leaked) 사진과 관련된 내용은 위의(above) 내용이 전부이며, 사실입니다.



We will be taking strong legal action in relation to the person who disregarded protection of personal information and illegally circulated the pictures in question. 당사는(party) 해당 사진의 유포자에게(circulator) 개인신상(personal)(protection law)보호법(privacy safeguards)에 따른 불법유포와(illegal circulation) 관련하여 강력한 법적 대응을 할 것입니다.



In addition, we will be doing our best so that Ailee will no longer be tormented by suspicion and gossip. 또한 당사도 에일리가 의혹과(doubt/suspicion) 구설수로(gossip/be the talk of) 인해 더이상의 고통을 받지 않을 수 있도록 최대한 노력할 것입니다.



Although it was an act deriving from lack of thought and maturity, it was not derived from wrong intentions or actions and it is becoming a large source of pain for Ailee, who had been living her life as a woman before she became a singer, as well as Ailee's family. 어린시절의 짧은 생각과 철 없던 행동이지만 그릇된(wrong/mistaken) 의도와(intention) 행동으로 일어난 일이 아니었기에, 또한 가수이기 이전에 한 여자로서의 삶을 살아가고 있는 에일리와, 에일리의 가족에게는 감당하지(handle/manage) 못할 큰 아픔입니다.



The relevant pictures had been a painful memory that had been largely traumatic and deeply hurtful for Ailee. 해당 사건은 당시 에일리에게 큰 충격과 깊은 상처를 주었던 아픈 기억이었습니다.



We fear that Ailee may once again receive a large wound from the hurtful memory when she had forgotten the painful past and had been looking towards her dreams. 이제 아픈 기억을 잊고, 꿈을 향해 가고 있는 에일리가 또 다시 과거의 아픈 기억으로 인해 더 큰 상처를 받게 될까 우려됩니다(feared/worried).



We hope for warm consolation and encouragement so that Ailee will not experience more pain and can continue her activities diligently. 에일리가 더 큰 아픔을 겪지 않고 열심히 활동할 수 있도록 따뜻한 위로와(console/comfort) 격려(encouragement) 부탁드립니다.

Hello, this is 6Theory Media.

In light of recent events, we felt a clarification on YMC Entertainment's accusations against Daniel Lee and allkpop were necessary.

Back in June 28, 2013 an individual claiming to be from Canada sent in a tip to us that he had a "set of Ailee Nude Scandal Pictures" and that he would sell them to us [allkpop] for the right offer.



We responded to the email stating that we would prefer to talk over the phone. Over the phone conversation, this person stated that he would like to "sell us the photos" and "break the story". At the time he stated he didn't have access to Sports Seoul or Dispatch but he would be willing to contact them if we didn't break the story. The person in question stated that he was a person acting as a middleman between the original owner and sent us a sample photo "for proof". He wanted to meet at an undisclosed location where he would provide us all the photos in exchange of $3500 USD in Cash.


At this time, we stated that we were not interested, and this person said he would contact another agency.


As we had good relations with Ailee, we informed our contact at YMC Entertainment that someone had contacted us stating that they had nude photos of Ailee. We stated we saw it and it was most likely her, even sending the sample photo. We informed them that if they were to pursue legal action, we would be bound to provide the contact information of the informant. They replied that we were most likely making everything up and brushed it off. We were bewildered why they would brush this off, when we were offering assistance.




For Ailee's sake, we stated to YMC that we would not write anything about this unless the photos were to end up being posted on the internet. We very clearly stated that if the photos were to show up online we would have to write the story as that is our job and duty as a news site.


On November 10, we received the following tip to a forum post on anonib:


The tip came from what we believe is the same informant that originally contacted us in June, as both IP addresses are from the same ISP in Toronto, Canada. At this point, the photos were on the internet and we made the decision to run the story, as it is our policy to report on the truth. For full disclosure, our employee, Daniel Lee did date Ailee in the past, however he did not post the photos in question. Not knowing who the true culprit was, YMC turned the blame to the easiest target. Common sense should also tell you that you do not send in nude photos for underwear modeling. Although Ailee is a victim, so is Daniel Lee, as false allegations were made by YMC, defaming our employee. In conclusion, we have saved all email correspondences from the individual who sent us the initial email. If legally requested by YMC, we will provide all information to the proper authorities, to ensure that the truth of the matter is revealed. We truly hope that YMC decides to run a full legal investigation, as it will reveal the whole truth of the situation.
