The “Controversies” section and how reports are handled · changes are dated here · 2026-10-03
What we include
- Only top-level sections of Korean and English Wikipedia artist articles titled Controversies, Legal issues, Lawsuits, Scandals, Criticism or Incidents (and Korean equivalents), verbatim with the revision date and original citations (CC BY-SA 4.0).
- gayo.wiki does not write, summarise or select this text, and does not fact-check it. No community posts, Namuwiki (non-commercial licence) or speculation.
- Military service, personal life and family sections are not included. Not shown for artists under 19 (for groups, if any current member is under 19).
- Collapsed by default. Follows Wikipedia within 30 days; removed here when removed there.
Reports
- Anyone can use “Report” above the section; it is hidden immediately. Five reports per device/address per day, with a bot check.
- Reports from the artist's verified account are marked as from the person concerned and handled first.
- Operators decide using one of the codes below only. Reporters' emails are never published.
| Code | Meaning | Result |
|---|---|---|
H1 | Defamation/privacy claim (takedown request) | Hidden at once, kept 30 days (Korean Network Act §44-2) |
H2 | Reported as factually wrong | Hidden at once until reviewed |
H3 | Outcome changed (dropped, acquitted, settled, corrected) | Hidden at once until reviewed |
H4 | Other | Hidden at once until reviewed |
R1 | Matches the current Wikipedia revision and every statement is cited | Restored |
R2 | The concern is already reflected in a newer Wikipedia revision | Restored with the new revision |
K1 | Within the 30-day takedown period | Stays hidden |
K2 | Contains uncited claims | Stays hidden (R2 once Wikipedia adds sources) |
K3 | The person concerned (verified) provided evidence of a changed outcome | Stays hidden until Wikipedia reflects it |
D1 | Rights violation established (e.g. by a court) | Never shown again on that artist's page |
