Amid the situation surrounding Seunghan’s exit from RIIZE, SM Entertainment has released official statements detailing the legal action taken against malicious commenters. Fans have announced boycott plans against the agency after Seunghan, who was set to return to the boy band after his hiatus ended, repeatedly quit the group due to hateful comments from netizens. Fans criticized the agency for not taking action. Will her latest statement change the situation?

On October 17, SM Entertainment shared a statement detailing the legal action related to the violation of Seunghan’s rights, citing its official social media handles.

“Since his debut, we have continuously monitored malicious posts and comments containing false information, personal attacks, insults and slander against Seunghan. We have already collected numerous evidence and are taking legal action, including filing complaints against various illegal activities,” the agency said.

They added that people who pose as his acquaintances to spread misinformation and damage his character are clearly committing criminal acts. Therefore, they plan to continue legal action without settlement or leniency.
