LE SSERAFIM initiates legal action against malicious online content. SOURCE MUSIC announced on March 22 its intent to combat defamatory posts targeting LE SSERAFIM.
In an official statement, the agency pledged to take robust measures against individuals propagating falsehoods and defaming the group’s members.
The agency’s full statement is as follows:
“This is SOURCE MUSIC.
Our company regularly initiates legal proceedings against perpetrators of malicious activities related to LE SSERAFIM, including personal attacks, sexual harassment, the spread of groundless information, ill-intentioned criticism, and defamation.
Recently, we have noticed a surge in malicious posts that personally attack each artist, stemming from ill intentions. These posts blatantly cross the line, taking advantage of anonymity. Consequently, we have intensified our monitoring efforts and stepped up evidence collection.
We bring to your attention that the following are all subject to lawsuits: posts aimed at defamation and personal attacks against the artist, instances of sexual harassment, and any cases of slander or the use of expletives based on groundless information.
We are collecting evidence of organized acts of posting malicious posts targeting artists’ public reputations and then deleting them to erase traces of evidence through our real-time monitoring systems.
Given the fact that some vicious attacks severely infringe the personal rights of members, including legal minors, we are taking strict measures to address malicious postings that violate our artists’ rights across all available channels, including social media platforms and online communities.
We strongly encourage our dear fans to continue reporting any cases of abuse to our legal affairs hotline (protect@sourcemusic.com), as they have been of great help.
We are always grateful for the affection and dedication shown by the fans of LE SSERAFIM.
We will continue to work to ensure that the rights of our artists are fully protected.Thank you.”
