Hello, this is JYPE.
We would like to make a statement regarding our position on the latest issue involving Stray Kids' Hyunjin spreading across various online communities.
Currently, we are making efforts to confirm the facts on this matter.
We were gathering opinion on the school that the members attended during this matter and were gathering opinions from acquaintances at the time. We also seek the opinions of post authors if they agree.
However, it has been confirmed that there is a different piece of fact that is spreading indiscriminately and we have confirmed that there are individuals who deliberately spread malicious rumors. We will carry out a detailed investigation in various ways to ensure that the facts are not distorted. We plan to take legal action against those who spread false information.
We will do our best to protect our artists by investigating the obvious facts. We will respond with firm action against those who spread rumors that are different from the facts.
Thank you."
The same thing was also voiced by the Cre.Ker Entertainment agency which oversees Sunwoo The Boyz.
“First, we express our gratitude to the fans who support THE BOYZ, and we write about the legal action being taken regarding the writing and dissemination of false information about THE BOYZ.
Currently there is far-reaching false information regarding THE BOYZ member Sunwoo spreading on various online communities, portal sites, and social media. We inform you that it is not true that he committed the actions mentioned in the now-deleted post such as physical abuse.
We continue to collect information and review legal steps regarding the writing and dissemination of unsubstantiated false information online, insults that constitute personal attacks, and malicious posts. In order to overcome this strongly, we are strengthening our artist protection system and we will take a more active response to malicious comments and those who create and spread rumors.
In the future too, in the case of spreading false information, we will take steps including gathering information and responding decisively to hold people accountable.
Thank you."

We want to inform everyone that the claim made by the accuser contains content that is different from the real thing. There should be no more indiscriminate dissemination of affairs.
We also want to inform you that we will take every possible action if our artist's reputation or image is damaged due to baseless rumors and false information.
In addition, we will not ignore the situation, and make every effort to protect the rights and interests of our artists.
