Stray Kids’ Bangchan has moved forward in his battle against deepfake videos that falsely showed him making racist and s*xual remarks. On September 5, 2025, a federal judge in California approved his request to get account details from X for the users who shared the clips.The K-pop idol had submitted the legal request on September 1, 2025, aiming to identify the people behind the content. Reported court filings revealed that two X accounts, @cupIdhrts and @ningseles, used AI to paste Bangchan’s face onto videos.They allegedly made it look like the 27-year-old said racial slurs, including the N-word, and s*xually explicit words. The documents noted the serious impact as in a written declaration, Bangchan stated,"Being depicted of saying the s*xually explicit statements have caused significant harm to my reputation as a singer, and I have suffered significant mental distress, physical stress, and humiliation, and I have been devastated by the s*xually explicit manner in which I have been falsely depicted."The court accepted this statement instead of live testimony. With the judge’s reported approval, Bangchan can now request information such as account emails, phone numbers, and login IPs. This will help him track down who made and spread the videos and advance his civil case at the Seoul Eastern District Court.Another Stray Kids member wins court approval to sue anonymous defamerStray Kids' Felix (Image via Instagram/@yong.lixx)As reported by K-media Seoul Wire, Stray Kids’ Felix is also taking legal steps against an anonymous social media account after repeated false claims accused him of mistreating staff.
