The author of the false post contacted us immediately after we requested a complaint and investigation seeking punishment for illegal acts against our actors this morning on February 17th. The author of false postings self-confessed, admitted that the postings they wrote were false, regretted their mistakes and misconduct, and appealed for preemption in the line of apologizing. Accordingly, we have confirmed the authenticity of the author and confirmed that the author has deleted the false postings.

Initially, the Company was conducting all possible legal proceedings by strongly responding to illegal acts against the actors affiliated with it, but considering that the author of false posts reflects on his or her own mistakes and conveys his intention to seek prejudice several times, the authors will not act again. I have been promised not to commit. However, if similar cases occur afterwards or other circumstances that aggravate damage to the affiliated actor, we will do our best to prevent the rights and interests of the affiliated actors from being violated by responding strongly.

In addition, we are pleased to inform you that in the future, we will seek criminal penalties by responding strongly to any act that harms or harms others in any way or not against all artists, including other actors belonging to our company.

Thank you.
