K-pop girls group Momoland member Nancy McDonie was on the news recently after leaked spy cam photos of her undressing backstage went viral online last weekend.
McDonie’s agency MLD
Entertainment said the K-pop singer was emotionally devastated over the photos.
They are planning to file
criminal and civil charges on her behalf against the Peeping Tom as well as
those who circulated the photos online. They will need cooperation from
overseas police and judicial authorities to hold the first person who posted
the photos responsible. Others who took part in spreading the photos will also
be the target of the legal action.
The reason to involve foreign
authorities is because the incident took place at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards
in Vietnam.

Momoland’s fans were outraged over the news which forced the 2019 Asia Artist Awards organising committee to apologise to McDonie and took responsibility for the incident.
Momoland fans also created the
hashtag #OurRainbowNancy on Twitter to send messages of encouragement to the
20-year-old.
This platform was also used to
raise awareness about sexual harassment and the need to provide protection and
support for victims as this may happen to almost anyone regardless whether you
are a celebrity or not.
This is not the first time
celebrity becomes victim of illegal voyeurism. Many years ago when Hong Kong’s
Twins were at the climax of their career, Gillian Chung (鍾欣潼) experienced the similar unfortunate
incident during their concert tour at Genting Highland, Malaysia.
These type of incidents will continue to happen as long as social medias are not being monitored as stringent as the mainstream medias. Especially when people are looking for instant fame online. They thought that the photos they post will make them famous overnight on the internet. They are more interested to see how many ‘Likes’ they can received from their post than the feeling of the victims. Such is the price to pay for embracing the information age. Better safeguard of people’s privacy is needed online without sacrificing our so called freedom of opinion.
K-pop女子组合Momoland成员Nancy
McDonie最近有不幸的消息，有人上周末在网上泄露了她更衣的照片。
Nancy的经纪人MLD娱乐公司说，这件事让她精神上受到很大的打击。
他们准备对偷窥者以及在网上传播照片的人提控刑事和民事诉讼。由于事件发生在越南，他们需要海外警察和司法部门的合作，才能控诉第一位发布照片的人。其他有参与传播该照片的人也将成为法律诉讼的对象。
事件发生在越南的2019年亚洲艺术家奖上。Momoland的粉丝对这消息感到愤怒，2019年亚洲艺术家奖组织委员会向Nancy道歉并声称会对此事件负责。
Momoland粉丝还在Twitter上创建了#OurRainbowNancy主题标签，以向20岁的Nancy给予精神上的鼓励。
该平台也为了提高人们对性骚扰的认知，以及为受害者提供保护和支持的需要。无论您是不是名人，几乎任何人都很有可能面对类似的情况。
这不是名人第一次成为非法偷窥的受害者。许多年前，当年香港女子组合Twins正处在她们事业高峰时，钟欣潼在马来西亚云顶高原的音乐会巡回演唱中也经历了类似的不幸事件。
