Hi.
This is Starship Entertainment.
We would like to share our position on the posts and rumors that have recently circulated in the online community about our artist Kihyun.
We are contacting the member’s school alumni, acquaintances and teachers around the time, with the thought that we should recognize the seriousness of this matter and make every effort to verify the facts. Since a long time has passed, we ask for your understanding in advance that it takes time to check various issues, and if the publisher permits, we would like to open the conversation.
Separately, two times in 2015 and 2021, the same person published posts with the same content online. At that time, we contacted the publisher to confirm the facts, and as a result, we have confirmed that the post was false. In order to protect the artist, we tried to take legal action, but we were promised to reflect and prevent recurrence in consideration of the various circumstances of the spreader, and after leaving the details on this by hand. Despite the fact that this is clearly contained in the handwritten text, we can no longer afford to continue deliberate and repetitive actions, and we intend to hold legal responsibility through all possible actions to the end.
In addition, we will do our best to protect artist rights and interests by continuing strong follow-up measures through legal response through constant monitoring of malicious slander and indiscreet dissemination of false facts, which are violations of defamation under the Information and Communication Network Act and insults under the Criminal Act. .
Once again, we would like to express our deep appreciation to the many people who support us and our artists.
Thank you.
