"Recently, malicious slander, personal attacks, sexual harassment, and defamation of our artist Hyeri are on the rise through online communities and social media. We inform you. We have tried to dismiss it as 'freedom of expression' despite constant monitoring and reporting, but we have come to the conclusion that the behavior of certain people who have consistently posted reckless malicious comments towards Hyeri over the past few years is no longer at a level that we can ignore."
In the future, based on continuous monitoring and reporting data, we plan to file a complaint through a legal representative, and we will take strong measures without leniency."
