There are many young people who want to take a picture of a beautiful body through exercise and diet management. As it is a picture that emphasizes the body, there is exposure, but there was a report that the body profile picture taken in a professional studio was used for a health club promotion without knowing it.



This is reporter Jo Yoon-ha.

Jung Hee-jung, who enjoys SNS, received an absurd call from an acquaintance last August.



He said that his body profile picture was on the health club site, but this health club was a place he had never heard of.



[Jeong Hee-jung / Victim of body profile theft: The detail page, thumbnail, and even the main banner were all using my photos. My heart sank a little 'thump' and I was like, 'What is this?' I want to.] It



was a picture taken by Jung at a photo studio.



It was a condition of taking a body profile for free and posting it on social media to promote the photo studio.



In the contract written at the time, it was written, "The filmed work can be used for exhibition, publicity, etc. at the photo studio."



But the photos weren't just used to promote the studio.



The photo studio has handed over the entire photo file to its affiliated health club.



Jung's photo was used to promote PT and Pilates at the health club.



[Jeong Hee-jung / Victim of body profile theft: I usually wear clothes that show off my body a lot, and things like that. Even just what I found, I think I don't know where and how it's going to run any more... .] When



Jung raised the issue, the photo studio offered a settlement amount.



[Photo studio side (Mr. Jung-Photo studio recording): Wouldn't it be better to just pay the lawyer's fee and finish it? If you do not use the image, just agree. If you just write an agreement, we will immediately pay about 3 million won... .] At



least 8 people have their body profiles stolen in this way.



Mr. A, who took a body profile photo at the same photo studio.



He said that he was worried about how much it might have been leaked, even though he wore revealing clothes because it was for personal collection.



[Mr. A / Victim of body profile theft: I went to make the most of my body and take the most beautiful image of my life, but I was thinking of passing it on behind the scenes. It is unthinkable that (the photo) is being used for anything else.] The



photo studio provided the photo only to the affiliated health club, did not exchange money, and explained, "The photo has now been taken down."



He also said, "There was a part where the contents of the contract were ambiguous."



[Baek Jae-seung / Attorney: If you want to publish someone else's body profile picture or use it commercially, of course you need to get the person's consent.]



Victims are preparing to take legal action, including a claim for damages against the photo studio.
