The production company has launched a copyright crackdown after it was found that the popular drama "Ok's Wife Exhibition" (scripted by Park Ji-sook, director Jin-hyuk, Choi Bo-yoon, production SLL, and Corpus Korea) was illegally distributed overseas with Chinese subtitles.
JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Ok's Wife Exhibition," which first aired on the 30th of last month, is receiving favorable reviews by focusing on the life of slaves and their practical problems through the main character, Gudeok-yi (Im Ji-yeon). It is breaking its highest ratings every time in Korea (based on Nielsen Korea paid households), and it is also showing its popularity in entering the Netflix Global Top 10 TV (non-English) category overseas.
As shown by the high interest of global viewers, it was rare in recent works that the unaired content was first released on overseas sites. However, it is clearly illegal to share and distribute videos without being officially exported or having a copyright contract.
The production company SLL has taken measures such as blocking the platform in China where the problem occurred. Currently, it is reported that it is working with overseas clients to analyze security vulnerabilities that may arise in the process of file sharing and localization, and is conducting an inspection of the overall related procedures.
It also plans to check the entire overseas leakage prevention system of production content and strengthen security procedures in the process of file transmission and localization. In particular, clicking on such illegal data links could lead to personal information leakage or hacking of bank information contained in PCs and mobile phones.
An SLL official said, "According to the Supreme Court precedent, the act of spreading links that lead to illegally copied 'Ok C's Denial' content is likely to be civil and criminal responsibility as it constitutes an assistance to copyright infringement," adding, "Not only the efforts of the production team and actors, but also the viewers." "Please immediately stop further distribution and spoilers that can adversely affect the overall content industry by damaging the basis of content production and consumption," he said.
