Julie, a member of the group "Kiss of Life," signaled legal action over indiscriminate speculation and malicious comments related to a leaked CCTV video.
S2 Entertainment said on the 29th, "We have confirmed the video illegally leaked and distributed online, and although we have already stated our position on it, baseless speculation surrounding the artist continues to spread, so we would like to deliver a clear position."
It added, "We recognize that the artist's honor and character are being seriously damaged by unverified rumors and indiscriminate speculation, and it has reached a level that can no longer be overlooked," and said, "We are currently collecting and analyzing related materials with our law firm in charge, and we are preparing legal action against the spread of false information, the creation and dissemination of malicious posts, and all acts that infringe personality rights."
It continued, "All evidence collected will be used in accordance with legal procedures, and we will respond strongly without any settlement or leniency," adding, "Not only the leak and distribution of videos through illegal channels, but also secondary harm and editing may be subject to legal punishment."
It also said, "We will take a hard-line response by mobilizing all means to ensure no further damage arises from the indiscriminate spread of rumors. We will continue to monitor the spread of baseless false information and malicious acts, and will immediately initiate legal action, so please report any tips."
4th, a CCTV (closed-circuit) video showing a man and a woman engaging in physical contact at what appeared to be a room salon was posted on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform, and speculation arose that the two were Julie and Kang Min (22) of the group Verivery. How the video was leaked has not been identified.
Kang Min's agency Jellyfish Entertainment said about this, "The rumor is not true at all and is a malicious falsehood that seriously damages the artist's honor."
