We are planning on filing a complaint through the law firm today. Those who wrote and published the rumors will be legally punished, and there will be no settlement or favorable handling.

“Hello, this is PD Na Young Suk. I would like to share my statement regarding the groundless rumors about me.

“All of the rumors are lies, and I plan to take legal action against the first person who spread them as well as malicious commenters. As it has to do with my personal name as well as my family, I am definitely revealing that there will be no favorable handling. Currently, CJ ENM as well as lawyers are collecting relevant evidence and are preparing to submit a complaint.

“The one sad aspect is why and who would produce and spread such hostile fake news. Yesterday, the rumors were so absurd that I laughed and dismissed it. Watching how those rumors changed into what [was perceived as] the truth today made me personally very sad and in despair. I promise once again to bring legal responsibility to those who are involved.”
