On January 5, the agency issued a statement saying they will be pursuing legal action against perpetrators who have been spreading derogatory remarks, morphed images, negative remarks and doctored images of the actress online.
On January 4, an anonymous user posted a picture claiming to be a high school photo of the Alchemy of Soul star and the same quickly went viral. The person in the claimed photo of the actress appeared different, which led fans to assume the actress had undergone plastic surgery.
