The Black Label, home to Taeyang, Rosé, Park Bo-gum and ALLDAY PROJECT, drew a line against malicious commenters.
The Black Label on the 11th disclosed its response policy for protecting artists via social media.
The agency said, "We regularly conduct monitoring and evidence-gathering of malicious posts on social media and online communities to protect our artists."
It added, "False information, baseless rumors, malicious slander, sexual harassment and physical threats against artists are clearly criminal acts in violation of current law, and we plan to use all means, including criminal lawsuits, working with a law firm specialized in responding to cybercrimes, to actively respond."
It also explained, "While further strengthening our own monitoring and evidence-gathering, we will closely review reports from fans and take measures to protect our artists. We plan to hold perpetrators fully accountable without leniency or settlements."
Finally, the agency said, "We will always do our best to protect our artists so they can focus on their activities in a safe environment."
The Black Label is a management company founded by chief creative director TEDDY and represents artists including Taeyang, Rosé, Jeon So-mi, Park Bo-gum, Yim Siwan, Miyao and ALLDAY PROJECT.
