Singer Defcon announced that it is planning to respond strongly to the controversy from juvenile school, saying that it is “no work”.
The agency SM C&C said on the 2nd, “Recently, through online, we have confirmed that false and malicious rumors of which the source is unclear have been spreading. These contents are unconditional slander towards our artists, malicious accusations, and dissemination of false facts, etc. This is included,” he said.
The agency said, “Defcon participated in a fight with friends who used to hang out for a long time as I said in an entertainment program in the past. At that time, I sincerely apologized to the victim. He said, “I have been working hard so far to become a boy,” he said. “The imprisonment of juveniles, disposition of No. 10 is unfounded and I have never received military immunity.
He added, “I thought I’ve been working hard so far, but I still have a lot of shortcomings. I’m reflecting on it. I’ll try harder.”
Respond strongly to false information. SM C&C said, “We want to prevent further damage and set the honor of the artists who have been degraded. We are currently collecting data on the distribution of malicious rumors and false facts that are being circulated online. In addition, we are collecting data on the spread of false information. We will guide you that we will protect the honor and personal rights of our artists through multi-faceted and continuous monitoring of celebrities and corresponding countermeasures.”
Earlier on the 30th of last month, MBC’What do you do when you play?’ After the broadcast, controversy arose online that Defcon was from a juvenile.
In the broadcast at the time, Yoo Jae-seok appeared as’Yu Ban-jang’ connecting Choi Bul-am of’Investigation squad leader’, Kim Jong-min as’Kim Hyung-sa’, and Defcon as’Ma detective’ resembling Ma Dong-seok. Afterwards, rumors of “Defcon was from juvenile school” began to spread on viewers’ bulletin boards. Accordingly, there was a flood of requests for getting off.
Such rumors spread because of the past anecdotes that Defcon mentioned in MBC’s’Knee Pak Dosa’. At that time, DEFCON revealed anecdotes of the struggle during school days and said, “I was called to the police and almost went to trial, but I agreed with the victims.” After that, after Defcon dropped out of high school, netizens speculated,’Isn’t it a boy’s school?’
Although DEFCON did not directly mention the story of the juvenile school, this soon spread to the’boys’ school background’. Eventually, the Defcon side dismissed the rumors directly, saying that it was “unfounded.”
◆ The following is the full text of DEFCON’s official position.
Thank you.
Hello, this is SM C&C.
We recently confirmed that false and malicious rumors of unknown sources regarding the artist’s DEFCON are spreading online.
These contents include unconditional slander, malicious accusations, and dissemination of false facts towards our artists.
As I mentioned in an entertainment program in the past, DEFCON participated in a fight with friends who had been hanging out long ago. At that time, I sincerely apologized to the victims, and I have been working hard and working hard to become a better person for my family and people around my life with a heart of reflection. The juvenile detention, No. 10 disposition is unfounded and has never been exempted from military service. I thought that I have lived hard in my own way, but I am still reflecting on the lack of it. I will do my best.
We aim to prevent further damage and set the honor of the artists who have been degraded.
Currently, we are collecting data on malicious rumors and false facts being circulated online.
In addition, we will inform you that we will protect the honor and personal rights of our artists through multi-faceted and continuous monitoring and corresponding countermeasures for all celebrities including DEFCON.
Thank you.
