We have been pursuing legal action against an individual who has repeatedly threatened and maliciously defamed our agency’s artist Shin Sae Kyeong.

In July of last year, the court of first instance sentenced the defendant to eight months in prison. The defendant subsequently appealed the ruling, but on October 22 of this year, the appellate court dismissed the appeal and upheld the original sentence. The defendant was taken into custody immediately following the appellate court’s ruling.

This outcome was made possible through our ongoing monitoring, systematic collection of evidence, and consistent, strategic legal action. We sincerely thank all the fans who have continuously provided us with information and supported our efforts throughout this process.
