JYP Entertainment gave their official statement regarding the news of Lia's former classmate ITZY being acquitted of defamation charges.
Previously, the police had conducted an investigation and concluded that it was difficult to sue A for defamation, because there was no clear evidence stating that A deliberately wrote the post with the aim of slander.
A at first testified that Lia borrowed money and did not return it, and bullied her friend for no reason. In addition, A admitted to experiencing the trauma of harassment and receiving constant swearing from Lia after he decided to defend his friend for being bullied by Lia.
After being acquitted of the charges, A demanded an apology from the agency and artist, saying, "I want a sincere apology."
In response to this, JYP Entertainment stated, "We have seen the results of the investigation from the news articles and are currently investigating the situation. However, it is difficult for us to accept the result. We will decide on our actions after learning about the legal process further," explained the agency. (www.kpopchart.net)
