Entertainment agency WAKEONE has officially released a stern statement warning of firm legal action following the unauthorized leak, online dissemination, and misuse of private information belonging to Anxin, a member of the rookie boy group ALPHA DRIVE ONE.
Released on September 18, 2026, the public notice confirms that sensitive personal details regarding the idol- including private identification documents- were leaked and shared across various social media platforms without consent.
The agency strongly condemned these acts as severe violations of an artist’s privacy and human rights, urging all individuals involved to immediately cease any further sharing, modification, or illegal exploitation of the leaked materials.
The agency highlighted that the severity of the situation extends beyond mere privacy infringement, pointing directly to risks of impersonation and fraudulent activity.
In their statement, WAKEONE cautioned that using an artist’s leaked credentials to pose as them can lead to significant financial or reputational harm affecting both the artist and unsuspecting third parties.
To address the breach, WAKEONE has partnered with prestigious legal counsel to review collected evidence and launch formal criminal proceedings against perpetrators.
Official Statement and Direct Quotes from WAKEONE
Addressing the fandom and the public regarding the ongoing illegal circulation of Anxin’s private details, WAKEONE released an official statement outlining their zero-tolerance stance and ongoing legal steps:
“We have recently confirmed that member ANXIN’s personal information has been leaked and disseminated without authorization on social media platforms and that such information has since been misused.
Disclosing or disseminating an artist’s personal information without their consent is a serious violation of the artist’s privacy and rights.”
Emphasizing the potential hazards associated with identity theft and unauthorized usage of personal documentation, the agency continued:
“In particular, using or impersonating the artist with leaked personal information, including identification documents, may cause further harm not only to the artist but also to third parties.
We therefore ask that you immediately cease disseminating such information or using, modifying, or misusing it in any form.”
Addressing their active collaboration with legal counsel to prosecute offenders without leniency, WAKEONE concluded:
“We are continuously collecting relevant posts and materials and are working with SHIN & KIM LLC to review and pursue the necessary legal action.
Upon confirming such acts, we will take all available legal measures against the sharing or redistribution of personal information, as well as alteration, unauthorized use, or misuse of such information.
We will also take firm action, with zero tolerance, against any conduct that infringes upon the artist’s rights and interests.”
Fan Guidance, Reporting Channels, and Ongoing Protection Protocols
To contain the spread of the compromised documents, WAKEONE instructed fans and online users to avoid engaging with, saving, or reposting any leaked materials encountered on social media or online communities.
Instead, the agency requested that supporters submit URLs, screenshots, and evidentiary posts directly through their dedicated reporting email channel (wakeone_protect@wake-one.com).
By gathering user reports alongside their internal monitoring systems, the agency aims to streamline the submission of evidence to law enforcement agencies and investigators.
This latest legal notice follows WAKEONE’s broader, sustained efforts throughout 2026 to protect members of ALPHA DRIVE ONE and partner groups from cyberbullying, defamation, malicious rumors, and privacy violations.
By retaining top-tier law firms like Shin & Kim LLC and actively pursuing search and seizure warrants alongside police authorities, WAKEONE aims to establish a safe environment for their artists while holding perpetrators fully accountable under South Korean privacy and telecommunications laws.
