Group Blackpink member Jennie will take legal action over spreading false information and invasion of privacy.
On the 9th, the agency OA Entertainment said on its official social media and other channels, "Recently, malicious slander and baseless speculative posts about our artist Jennie have been posted mainly on online communities and SNS, and cases that damage the artist's reputation through the spreading false information continue to occur."
OA Entertainment said, "In particular, there are cases that cause damage by spreading false posts based on content that is completely different from the facts and thus defame the artist, and acts that invade the artist's privacy, such as disturbing the artist's personal time or following the artist's movement routes, are also increasing, so we are taking the situation seriously."
It added, "We are currently conducting ongoing monitoring of SNS and online platforms to collect related materials, and based on legal advice we are preparing legal action against acts that infringe on the artist's reputation and rights," and "We will take strong measures, including civil and criminal legal action depending on the seriousness of cases involving infringement of the artist's reputation and rights, portrait rights and other intellectual property rights, and acts that invade privacy, and we clearly inform you that there will be no leniency or settlement in this process."
Meanwhile, Blackpink, which Jennie belongs to, released the mini album 3 "Deadline" on the 27th of last month.
