jTBC has issued an official statement in response to the accusations of using JYJ member Yoochun's photos.

During a phone interview that took place on February 10th with StarN, a jTBC representative remarked, "It is true that we have released a report regarding an idol star and naked photos, however, we did not make any mention of Park Yoochun."

Ahead of this on the 9th, jTBC reported that the former girlfriend of an unnamed idol star was using naked photos to blackmail him for over $800,000 USD.

In the report, they had used blurred photos of Park Yoochun and netizens had found the original copies of the photos in comparison, thus drawing conclusions that the idol star was Yoochun.

However, jTBC stood their ground saying, "We did not violate any principles of news reporting. The photos were pixelated / blurred before being released, and we have never revealed the identity of the idol star in question. It was the third parties who speculated that the idol star was Park Yoochun, and therefore it has nothing to do with us."

Meanwhile, JYJ's agency C-JeS Entertainment strongly denied the reports saying, "The idol star in question is not Park Yoochun. In the event that these rumors prove to be false and an invasion of privacy, we will immediately seek legal action through legal advisors."
