Viral AI Video of BLACKPINK Fighting Sparks Outrage and Deepfake Fears
A fake, AI-generated video of BLACKPINK fighting on stage has gone viral, sparking fears among fans about the dangers of deepfake technology and misinformation.
Did BLACKPINK just have a brawl on stage? A video showing the members in a physical fight went viral on X (formerly Twitter), shocking the global K-Pop community. The clip is, of course, a fake created with artificial intelligence. However, its disturbing realism is raising serious concerns about the misuse of AI technology.
The Viral Deception and Fan Backlash
The incident unfolded around December 20, 2025, when an X account shared the BLACKPINK video with a racist caption. While some versions of the video included a label indicating it was AI-generated, the controversy grew as unlabeled versions were reposted. Fans quickly expressed outrage over the creation of such malicious content without the artists' consent, highlighting the potential for spreading misinformation. The group is currently on their 'Deadline' world tour, which is scheduled to conclude next January.
A Recurring Threat Demands Action
This isn't the first time K-Pop artists have been targeted by AI-manipulated content. Previously, Stray Kids’ Bangchan pursued legal action against individuals creating similar AI-edited content. Fans are echoing calls for stronger protections, with one user commenting, “It's so scary to be a celebrity these days.” Many are demanding that regulations be put in place and that the group's agency, YG Entertainment, take proactive measures to protect its artists.
