First, we sincerely thank you for sending so much love to our artist Kim Woo Seok.
Recently, there was an incident of defaming our artist's character through personal attacks and defamation. Accordingly, we have filed a criminal complaint with the Gangnam Police Cyber Investigation unit against the creator of the malicious post for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection.
There will be no leniency or settlement in our agency's dealings with these defendants and we inform you that we will continue to protect the rights of our artists in the future through continuous monitoring and strong legal action.
Please note that not only is the act of making a post baseless and malicious, but also the act of re-creating and spreading the post is also a basis for criminal penalties.
Thank you," the agency wrote.
