ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Agency Warns Of Strong Legal Action Over Leak And Misuse Of Anxin’s Personal Information

ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s agency WAKEONE has warned of strong legal action against the unauthorized disclosure, dissemination, and misuse of the members’ personal information.

On September 18, WAKEONE released an official statement announcing that it had confirmed the unauthorized leak and dissemination of member Anxin’s personal information on social media, as well as its subsequent misuse.

In response, the agency strongly urged those responsible to immediately cease such activities and warned that the agency would take all available legal measures with zero tolerance toward acts that violate its artists’ privacy and rights.

Read WAKEONE’s official statement below:

Hello. This is WAKEONE.

We have recently confirmed that member ANXIN’s personal information has been leaked and disseminated without authorization on social media platforms and that such information has since been misused.

Disclosing or disseminating an artist’s personal information without their consent is a serious violation of the artist’s privacy and rights. In particular, using or impersonating the artist with leaked personal information, including identification documents, may cause further harm not only to the artist but also to third parties. We therefore ask that you immediately cease disseminating such information or using, modifying, or misusing it in any form.

We are continuously collecting relevant posts and materials and are working with SHIN & KIM LLC to review and pursue the necessary legal action. Upon confirming such acts, we will take all available legal measures against the sharing or redistribution of personal information, as well as alteration, unauthorized use, or misuse of such information. We will also take firm action, with zero tolerance, against any conduct that infringes upon the artist’s rights and interests.

If you come across any related posts, please refrain from sharing or reposting them to prevent further circulation. Instead, please send us the relevant URLs and materials through our reporting channel. (wakeone_protect@wake-one.com)

WAKEONE will continue to closely monitor the situation and take appropriate action to protect the privacy and rights of our artists.

Thank you.

Weverse Notifies Users Of Data Leak

Weverse has announced that it recently experienced a data breach that affected 422,584 user accounts.

On September 6, Weverse Company president Yang Zooil released a formal statement notifying users of a data security incident.

Hello,

This is Yang Zooil, President of Weverse Company.

Weverse Company recently received an external report regarding a security vulnerability in our service and immediately conducted an inspection. As a result, we confirmed that the personal information of some customers had been leaked.

We deeply apologize to all the fans who trust and support Weverse for causing great concern and worry through this incident.

Below are the details regarding the circumstances of this incident, the actions taken, and our future plans:

1. Scope of Leakage and Response Measures

On September 3, 2026 (KST), we were contacted by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), which informed us that an external reporter had reported a security vulnerability in the Weverse service. Following this, we immediately conducted an internal inspection and emergency response. The details of the personal data leak confirmed through the inspection conducted during this period are as follows:

Scope of Leakage: 422,584 cases based on account ID units
– Leaked Items:

  1. Personal Information Item: Internal identification information (a unique internal numerical value generated for user identification upon registration)
  2. General Information Items (not classified as personal information): Purchase type (payment method), payment gateway (PG) name, currency type (e.g., KRW), purchase amount, cancellation amount, purchase date and time, purchase status (e.g., COMPLETE), refund date and time (if purchase status is CANCELED)

As part of additional measures, we have strengthened security for the payment information processing API by enhancing access control and removing internal identifier information to prevent external exposure of data, and on September 4, we filed a breach incident report with KISA, including the results of our inspection and our response status.

In addition, in accordance with the criteria set forth by relevant laws and regulations, we have carried out a separate procedure to notify the customers affected by this leak of the fact of the leakage. The leaked internal identification information is not information that directly identifies an individual, such as a name or contact details; it is an identifier value used only within Weverse Company’s internal systems and cannot be used externally. It is unlikely that payment forgery or unauthorized fund transfers could occur based on these data items alone.

2. Security Enhancements and Future Plans

Going forward, we will conduct a full investigation of all externally exposed APIs to strengthen access control and minimize exposed information, and we will do our utmost to prevent similar incidents from recurring by tightening control over our deployment processes and enhancing the sensitivity of our security monitoring.

In addition, we have requested the retrieval of the relevant personal information from the external actor who illegally accessed it through an abnormal attack. We intend to pursue legal responsibility regarding the damage caused by this incident.

The Company takes full responsibility for this matter and will take all appropriate measures to address our customers’ concerns and worries. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to our customers.

Thank you.
