02 · Key Issues This Week

We’re sharing representative examples of actions taken since the project’s launch.

[Case 1] “Successful weight loss of ○ kg in just two months?” — Results vary by individual
Findings
Through post-publication monitoring, we confirmed that a diet rewards project was using expressions such as “Lost ○ kg in two months” and “It actually worked without starving myself” in its Story, highlighting specific weight loss figures and testimonials to make definitive claims about its effectiveness. Although results from exercise and diet vary depending on an individual’s physique and lifestyle habits, the content was presented as if anyone could achieve the exact same weight loss simply by following the program.
Verification & Action
Asserting effectiveness using specific numbers can lead consumers to mistakenly believe these results are guaranteed, which may violate the Advertising Act. wadiz requested that the maker revise the wording to align with objective evidence, and the maker has corrected the content accordingly.
[Case 2] “Eating This Makes You Younger?” — Efficacy Claims Cannot Be Promoted Without Certification
Findings
Through post-campaign monitoring, we confirmed that a certain inner beauty rewards project used phrases such as “reverse aging” and “anti-aging” in its Story, implying that the product could reverse or prevent aging. Although the project highlighted these benefits, no evidence of certification allowing it to make such claims was found.
Verification & Action
Functional benefits, such as anti-aging effects, may only be claimed if the product has received relevant certification. Making definitive claims about efficacy without certification can lead consumers to mistakenly believe the product has actual, verified effects, which may violate the Food Labeling and Advertising Act. wadiz requested that the maker either remove the relevant expressions or revise them to align with the scope of their certification, and the maker has completed the necessary revisions.
Why has this been happening so frequently lately?
With growing interest in dieting and health these days, there’s an increasing tendency to use expressions like “X kg in just a few days” or “just by eating this” without much thought, driven by a desire to convey the Rewards’ effectiveness as strongly as possible. However, stating effects with specific numbers or implying that the same results will occur for everyone is an entirely different matter.

The effects of exercise, diet, and food naturally vary depending on an individual’s constitution and lifestyle, and general food products cannot claim the same efficacy as health functional foods or pharmaceuticals. “Some people have actually seen results” is different from “those results are guaranteed for everyone,” and making definitive claims about effectiveness without objective evidence can lead consumers to misinterpret them as guaranteed outcomes, potentially violating the Labeling and Advertising Act and the Food Labeling and Advertising Act.
Directions for Operational Improvements
Wadiz will continue to conduct post-launch monitoring to ensure that diet and health-related Rewards do not exaggerate or make definitive claims about their effectiveness. Where verification is necessary, we will guide creators to provide supporting evidence or revise their wording to foster an environment where supporters can place their trust in the platform.

 

03 · This Week’s Operational Summary

This week, we focused on analyzing the effectiveness of Rewards through our AI monitoring system.

1
Status of AI Monitoring Actions
We monitored 206 projects, of which 38 resulted in requests for maker corrections and 2 resulted in removal from display.
2
We conducted a thorough review of Rewards effectiveness claims
We identified instances where diet Rewards used specific numerical values to definitively claim weight loss effects, as well as claims promoting functional benefits without proper certification. We instructed the makers to revise these claims to align with the evidence and scope of certification, and the makers have implemented these changes.
3
Notice Regarding the Next Report
The next transparency report is scheduled to be published on August 10, 2026. wadiz will continue to disclose its operational status and key corrective actions, and we are committed to maintaining an environment where supporters can participate with confidence.
