On May 10, a law attorney representing Han Hyo Joo and her label BH Entertainment revealed that Han Hyo Joo's side has submitted a lawsuit against 33 individuals for spreading false rumors about the actress and club 'Burning Sun'. 

The attorney stated, "Actress Han Hyo Joo is simply the endorsement model for cosmetics brand 'JM Solution'; she has never once set foot inside 'Burning Sun', neither did she attend the particular event in question which took place at the club back on November 23, 2018." 

They continued, "Despite this, the uncontrollable and reckless spread of malicious, false rumors openly defaming and mocking our client's character continue to roam various online sites, communities, and SNS platforms. Concluding that our client Han Hyo Joo's character has been severely defamed due to the rampant spread of such malicious content, we have identified 33 online users (based on the number of unique IDs) who were found to be posting false content, and have filed a lawsuit against them through Seoul's Yongsan Police Office."
