hello. This is Wake One.
Recently, false material about our artists has been spread indiscriminately through online communities and social media.
As we have previously announced through several announcements, we are responding with zero tolerance to crimes that violate artists' personal rights and privacy and threaten their safety.
Through Sejong Law Firm, we have filed a complaint with the investigative agency regarding the person who visited the artist's residence on charges of trespassing, etc., and the investigation is in progress.
Regarding 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, etc., even if it takes some time, and mobilize all available resources to protect artists. We inform you once again.
In addition, to prevent incidents like this from happening again, we will take strong legal action against spreaders of false information, posting malicious comments, etc. without any agreement or leniency in the future.
We promise to make every effort to avoid any harm to the artists as well as the fans who love them.
