Modenberry Korea, the agency of artist An Somi, has warned of a strong response to the false claims surrounding An Somi.

On the 28th, Modenberry Korea announced through an official statement that it would pursue legal action against the YouTube channel Garosero Research Institute, which claimed the false fact that An Somi and Kim Kwang-soo were dating.

Modenberry stated, "The Garosero Research Institute conducted a broadcast with the intent to disseminate false information that An Somi, the artist, and Kim Kwang-soo of Pocket Doll Studio were in a relationship, which constitutes clear defamation, and we have decided to take legal action to protect the artist."

They added, "We will not tolerate the spread of baseless rumors and indiscriminate speculation against the artist," and noted, "We are already securing related documents through legal representation and plan to respond strongly under a zero-tolerance policy."

Below is the full official statement from Modenberry Korea

Hello, this is Modenberry Korea.

We would like to convey our official stance regarding malicious comments, dissemination of false information, personal attacks, and defamation aimed at our artist An Somi.

Unfounded false information dissemination and malicious comments directed at the artist An Somi have been continuously confirmed online and on social media. We have carefully reviewed the circumstances surrounding this and have decided to take legal action to protect the artist's rights.

Additionally, the claim that An Somi and Kim Kwang-soo from Pocket Doll Studio were dating, mentioned in the video titled <[Shocking Exclusive] Girl group 'DIA' members competing for one man> posted on the Garosero Research Institute YouTube channel on March 2, 2024, is clearly false, and legal action will be taken regarding this.

Furthermore, we will take strong legal action against all malicious acts without leniency and continue to monitor for additional legal responses. Engaging in the creation, dissemination, and spreading of malicious posts against the artist is clearly a criminal act, and we will continuously collect evidence related to this for powerful actions, including criminal complaints and civil damages.

We promise to always strive to be Modenberry Korea, which works towards a healthy fan culture and the protection of artists, and we ask for your continued interest and support.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Modenberry Korea
