ScatterLab created Eruda with data collected from another app called’The Science of Love’.
The science of love is an app that shows the level of affection by analyzing conversation patterns such as reply time by inserting a KakaoTalk conversation with a lover or a likable person and paying about KRW 2,000 to 5,000.
Iruda was developed using KakaoTalk conversations that users put into this love science app as data. Scatterlab has revealed that the volume of conversations is about 10 billion.
Mr. A said, “I remember that one person shared (sexual conversations between lovers) twice.”
It is said that there were about 50 Scatter Lab employees in the chat room.
Manager-level employees, such as Kim Jong-yoon, CEO of ScatterLab, did not respond to inappropriate sharing, but did not specifically sanction them, Mr. A said.
Mr. A said, “It was like reading a funny Internet article, and there was no other sexual harassment or ridicule.” “Scatalab staff recognizes the fact (it could be shared inappropriately) and uses the KakaoTalk conversation analysis function in the romance science app. It was an atmosphere that didn’t happen.
He said, “It was not that there was an authoritative or sexist culture in Scatter Lab. Female employees (due to inappropriate sharing) also said’ㅋㅋ’, and it was also a culture where men and women exchanged sexual jokes together.” He added, “We report to the heart that hopes to open a healthy future.”
Regarding Mr. A’s claim, Scatter Lab said, “Currently, we are checking the facts.”

Those who used the science app of love are raising their voices that Scatter Lab should destroy all KakaoTalk data.
User A (20) said, “I am reluctant to show my lover and KakaoTalk content to close acquaintances, but I am shocked that dozens of people I do not know have used it for entertainment and not for public purposes.”
He said, “I’ve been using the science app for love for 3 years, and I paid about 10 times, and I never agreed to provide personal information. I didn’t know that my Kakao Talk conversation would be used for AI chatbots and sexual harassment.”
User B (26) said, “I remember clearly that there was a phrase in the report that comes out when I entrust KakaoTalk analysis to the science of love,’the collected KakaoTalk will never be used outside of report analysis.'” “Personal information and privacy were violated. “Criticized.
Users said they were suffering psychologically from this incident.
Mr. B confessed, “Currently, due to trauma, I can’t contact my boyfriend and messenger. I think someone might have seen our conversation, so I don’t have access to KakaoTalk and other messengers.”
Mr. C (25) stressed that “I am sorry for the illegal filming, and I only wrote down the text and did not erase the original photo.”

Science users of love are gathering evidence while preparing for class action.
Users said that there was no procedure for consenting to personal information, and KakaoTalk was divided by two people, and it is also pointed out that the science of love is inappropriate because it has collected both conversations with only one consent.
When users suddenly say the real name, home address, bank account number, etc. of a specific person, they claim that Scatter Lab did not properly anonymize.
In fact, in Iruda, a name with a special symbol in the middle such as’○.○.○’ or the real name of a specific university professor or a specific store owner suddenly pops out.
The previous day, the Personal Information Protection Committee announced that it plans to investigate whether Scatter Lab violates the Personal Information Protection Act with the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA). The Personal Information Commission will request the submission of data to Scatterlab in the near future, and will also review site investigations.
