Chrome Entertainment, home to Crayon Pop, has filed a police complaint against fake social media profiles claiming to be the CEO himself.
Previously, a tweet had been written from what appeared to be the account of the CEO, Hwang Hyun Chang, which read, "To ignore the pig-like squeals of the general public". With Crayon Pop currently being swept in IlBe-related controversy, the tweet sparked a firestorm of debate.
However, it was revealed that Hwang Hyun Chang had already closed the Twitter account in question, and the offending tweet had been penned by someone who created a new account with the now-available Twitter handle and had masqueraded as the CEO.

"This is not an account we are currently using," Chrome Entertainment stated. "Netizens are confusing the re-activated account with words from director Hwang himself."
"Since this may cause confusion with the general public, we hope they will not be misled," they said.
Chrome Entertainment is currently in discussion with the Seoul police's Cyber Terror Response Center to formulate possible strategies and are planning to respond strongly to the incident.
