On April 16th KST, INB100, the agency representing EXO’s Baekhyun, announced it has filed a criminal complaint against individuals responsible for spreading malicious content online.
In an official statement, the company said, “We have been collecting evidence of malicious posts and comments targeting our artist Baekhyun across social media, online communities, and Daum cafes through ongoing monitoring and fan reports. Based on the collected data, we filed a criminal complaint with the Gwangjin Police Station on April 15th for defamation, insult, spreading false information, and sexual harassment.”
The agency emphasized its zero-tolerance policy, stating, “We will continue to monitor online activity and carefully review all materials submitted by fans to secure evidence. There will be no leniency or settlement in any case, and we will respond with strict legal action to protect the rights and dignity of our artist.”
This marks another instance of a K-pop agency taking a firm stance against cyberbullying, as artists continue to face serious harm from online defamation and harassment.
