On October 17 KST, G-Dragon's management label Galaxy Corporation issued an update on its legal action against defamatory and malicious online activity targeting the musician.
The label stated,
"Hello, this is Galaxy Corporation.
Galaxy Corporation is actively pursuing legal action in response to defamation, the spread of false information, and malicious online activity targeting our artist, G-Dragon.
We are working in close cooperation with Yulchon LLC, one of Korea's leading law firms, to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Based on the evidence we have collected and the numerous reports submitted by fans, a comprehensive review was completed by the end of September.
As a result, on October 15 KST, we formally filed criminal complaints against multiple individuals for violations of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, on charges of defamation.
Our legal response focuses primarily on serious offenses, including defamation through false statements, rather than simple insults, to ensure that meaningful legal consequences follow.
We continue to carefully review additional cases and submit them to investigative authorities on an ongoing basis.
Moving forward, Galaxy Corporation will continue to cooperate with law enforcement to identify individuals who spread malicious posts or defamatory statements under anonymous or pseudonymous identities.
Legal actions will be taken sequentially against those identified on major platforms and online communities including DC Inside, Daum Cafe, X (formerly Twitter), Nate Pann, FM Korea, and Naver.
Due to requests from investigative authorities and in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act, we are unable to disclose specific details regarding ongoing investigations or the identities of suspects.
However, we will continue to provide regular updates through our official community within the scope permitted by law.
Galaxy Corporation continues to secure additional evidence related to the infringement of the artist's rights, with the support and cooperation of fans.
If you discover malicious posts, please compile all relevant information - URL, poster ID, content, and capture date - into a single PDF file and submit it to the following email address:
protect@galaxyuniverse.ai
Galaxy Corporation remains dedicated to creating an environment in which our artist can focus on creative work in a safe and stable environment.
We sincerely thank all fans for your unwavering support, encouragement, and active participation.
Thank you."
Meanwhile, later this month, G-Dragon will receive the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit, the 4th highest order, awarded jointly by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency at the '2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards'.
