6Theory Media releases a statement regarding the leaked photos of Ailee, which has been confirmed my YMC Entertainment, Ailee's agency.

It has been reported that Daniel Lee, the ex-boyfriend of Ailee, was the one responsible for the photos and now is in question. It happens to be Daniel Lee is connected with the famous K-pop site, All Kpop, which is also the sister company of 6Theory Media.

The clarification of the company goes:

"Hello, this is 6Theory Media.

In light of recent events, we felt a clarification on YMC Entertainment's accusations against Daniel Lee and allkpop were necessary.

Back in June 28, 2013 an individual claiming to be from Canada sent in a tip to us that he had a "set of Ailee Nude Scandal Pictures" and that he would sell them to us [allkpop] for the right offer.

We responded to the email stating that we would prefer to talk over the phone. Over the phone conversation, this person stated that he would like to "sell us the photos" and "break the story". At the time he stated he didn't have access to Sports Seoul or Dispatch but he would be willing to contact them if we didn't break the story. The person in question stated that he was a person acting as a middleman between the original owner and sent us a sample photo "for proof". He wanted to meet at an undisclosed location where he would provide us all the photos in exchange of $3500 USD in Cash.

At this time, we stated that we were not interested, and this person said he would contact another agency.

As we had good relations with Ailee, we informed our contact at YMC Entertainment that someone had contacted us stating that they had nude photos of Ailee. We stated we saw it and it was most likely her, even sending the sample photo. We informed them that if they were to pursue legal action, we would be bound to provide the contact information of the informant. They replied that we were most likely making everything up and brushed it off. We were bewildered why they would brush this off, when we were offering assistance.

For Ailee's sake, we stated to YMC that we would not write anything about this unless the photos were to end up being posted on the internet. We very clearly stated that if the photos were to show up online we would have to write the story as that is our job and duty as a news site.

On November 10, we received the following tip to a forum post on anonib:

The tip came from what we believe is the same informant that originally contacted us in June, as both IP addresses are from the same ISP in Toronto, Canada. At this point, the photos were on the internet and we made the decision to run the story, as it is our policy to report on the truth. For full disclosure, our employee, Daniel Lee did date Ailee in the past, however he did not post the photos in question. Not knowing who the true culprit was, YMC turned the blame to the easiest target. Common sense should

also tell you that you do not send in nude photos for underwear modeling. Although Ailee is a victim, so is Daniel Lee, as false allegations were made by YMC, defaming our employee. In conclusion, we have saved all email correspondences from the individual who sent us the initial email. If legally requested by YMC, we will provide all information to the proper authorities, to ensure that the truth of the matter is revealed. We truly hope that YMC decides to run a full legal investigation, as it will reveal the whole truth of the situation."
