Forestella’s Ko Woo Rim has released a stern warning against those who create fake news regarding his marriage.

On February 20, Ko Woo Rim’s agency Beat Interactive released an official statement announcing that they will be taking legal action against perpetrators who create fake news online.

Hello, this is Beat Interactive.

In order to protect the rights and interests of our artist Ko Woo Rim (Forestella), we plan to take legal action against fake news under a zero-tolerance policy.

Recently, we confirmed that absurd fake news about Ko Woo Rim was being uploaded and circulated online, and as a result of our continuous monitoring, we judged that fake news with content that crosses the line was being created.

The agency judged that eradicating fake news will prevent secondary damage to Ko Woo Rim, his family, and fans, and accordingly, we decided to take legal action under a zero-tolerance policy.

We will actively cooperate with the detailed investigation. In addition, we will take the lead in protecting the rights and interests of our artists by applying a zero-tolerance principle on all our response processes with no leniency or negotiations.

Furthermore, we promise that we will thoroughly respond to the violation of rights of all of our artists including sexual harassment, defamation, personal attacks, insults, spreading false information, malicious slander, and invasion of privacy.

We express our gratitude to fans who always send affectionate support and great love to Beat Interactive’s artists.

Beat Interactive will continue to do our best to ensure that the hearts of our artists and fans are not hurt due to malicious acts.
