Translation of the notice
Hello, this is Wakeone.
Recently, false productions about our artists have been indiscriminately circulating through online communities and social media.
As we have informed you through several notices earlier, we are responding to crimes that violate artists’ personal rights and privacy and threaten their safety with the principle of zero tolerance.
We have filed a complaint with the investigative agency against a person who visited the artist’s accommodation through the law firm Sejong on charges of home invasion, and the investigation of the case is underway.
In addition, we have received complaints through the local police station against those who attempt to contact us by illegally obtaining the artist’s personal information, and some have completed the investigation of the suspect.
In connection with the attempt to intimidate the artist, an investigation is underway with a court search warrant.
As for those who create and distribute false productions and posts related to artists, we will clearly reveal the truth through digital forensics on images, videos, audio, and more, even if it takes some time. To that end, we will once again inform you that we will use all available resources to protect artists.
In addition, strong legal measures will be taken without any agreement or leniency in the future to spread false information and malicious comment publishers to prevent this from happening again.
We promise to make every effort to avoid harm to artists as well as fans who love them. Thank you.
