Idol, 28, says TikTok LIVE age check judged her under 18 and cut off her livestream
A 28-year-old member of an idol group said that on 22 October 2026 TikTok ended her live stream, which was also promoting her birthday event two days later, because it judged her to be under 18, the minimum age for live streaming. In an emergency video posted the same day she said the stated reason was that people under 18 cannot stream after 10 pm and that she could not continue. Real Sound reports that the AI judged her to be under 18 and the stream was abruptly cut off; on X she wrote 'TikTok LIVE, I won't forgive you (28, female)' and later called herself a 28-year-old idol judged a minor by AI. Fans treated the episode as a joke and it drew wide attention. TikTok's comment and whether her appeal succeeded are not reported.
