“Recently, under the Information Communications Network Act, the judicial branch has shown strong and severe punishment in punishing illegal acts of slander and the spreading of false information.

“Accordingly, as an agency, in order to protect the precious and fundamental rights and interests of our artists, we are preparing a strong legal process against comments of malicious slander, spreading of false information, and defamatory posts with our attorneys at law firm Shin & Kim. We will continue to take all possible legal action without settlement on defamation of our artists in the future. The information and materials that the fans have sent in are greatly contributing to our legal preparation and response, and we would like to ask for your continuous feedback.

“Thank you.”
