Girl group Oh My Girl member Seung-hee announced the second official position for composer Tank (real name Jin-woong Ahn).
On the 25th, Oh My Girl’s management company, WM Entertainment, told Oh My Girl’s official fan cafe on the 25th that “Seunghee is an obvious victim, and our position remains unchanged.” “We are in the process of civil and criminal procedures, such as filing a complaint about the spread of false information, insults, and intimidation.”
“We will not communicate directly with the person who is spreading false facts by adapting the facts to their own advantage, and will hold them accountable according to the standards of the law. In the future, due to the revelation that one individual has unilaterally adapted, we will not communicate with him at all. He took a strong attitude, saying, “We will do our best to prevent innocent damage from our artists.”
Previously, the tank wrote on his instagram that day, “From last night to this morning, countless number of policemen went there. I didn’t even dream that so many people would worry about me. Thank you very much.”
“Okay. I’ll fight until the end. First of all, I’ll reveal the contents of the talk. This is the contents of the talk extracted before turning the talk over once. I hope that this talk will prove a lot of things. Firstly, I am not a stalker, and secondly, I am not a stalker. It is not a story made of my own delusions, and thirdly, those terrible bad comments caused by your misunderstandings are only damaging your face.”
Meanwhile, on the 7th, the tank posted on his YouTube channel ‘[디스곡] TANK-‘Sooni’ / [Diss Track] TANK-We uploaded a video of the song titled’Suni’. The video consisted of the lyrics of a dis-satisfied song directed at the incumbent girl group member A, and in particular, the controversy arose using a photo that only covered Seung-hee’s face.
On the 8th, Oh My Girl’s management company WM Entertainment said, “Seunghee and the composer tank are seniors and juniors in the industry. Seunghee is currently a victim of malicious harassment from the tank.” “We are carrying out all legal measures in civil and criminal matters, including infringement of moral rights.”
The following is the official position of Oh My Girl’s agency.
Hi. This is WM Entertainment.
We would like to convey our final position regarding tanks that are continuously distributing malicious content that is untrue.
1. As stated in the previous notice, Seunghee and Tank were between seniors and juniors in Korea as well as seniors in the industry. After receiving a call that he would try to make an extreme choice, he used Seung-hee’s good heart who helped him to complain of his mental illness and wooed him, and pressed Seung-hee that he could make another extreme attempt. Seunghee’s position as an obvious victim remains the same.
Seunghee, despite being in a busy schedule for a painful senior, took care of him with concern for his comfort, but when contact was cut off, he did not stop distorting the truth with absurd content, and constantly adapting the truth to himself Disseminated false facts through SNS and YouTube. Even the personal information of the members is leaked, and the damage of the affiliated artists is getting severe day by day.
2. The Company is proceeding with civil and criminal proceedings by collecting evidence related to this and submitting a complaint about the spread of false facts, insults, and intimidation on the tank through Siheon Law Firm, the legal representative.
In the process of preparing for a lawsuit, I once visited his house on March 9th to confirm that the address that Tank revealed through his SNS was different from the address we know. To deliver the proof of content, I pressed the bell to verify my identity and address, but due to the refusal of the tank myself, I could not even face it face to face, and only the proof of content was delivered.
3. Unlike the tank’s claim, our company has never made any suggestion or loyalty to him. In addition, there is no change in the position that we will take a strong legal response to all situations that arise. It is a very unpleasant situation to even mention our own artists along with our company regarding his absurd one-sided argument. As he argued, if there is anything unfair to the person, despite the fact that it is a matter to appear directly at the police station and disclose distorted false facts through social media and YouTube, the company and the affiliated artists are shocking the company and the affiliated artists by distributing false facts and defaming the affiliated artists. And the damage is also growing.
4. Among the messages he sent to Seung-hee in the past, “If I die, disclose the KakaoTalk I sent to defend you. The world’s gaze was divided into categories that criticized me for being a person who died savagely for loving a woman”, “Some media reports that if you die, you will forever remember that you killed me.” Contents suggesting suicide Is included, so we have approached the case as carefully as possible.
However, in the end, the tank is inflicting another shock and violence on many people by releasing an extreme video that secures its own life. Therefore, we decided that we could not neglect or condone his act of inflicting violence and discomfort to not only the artist, but also many people.
5. We will not communicate directly with those who are spreading false facts by adapting the facts to their own advantage, and will hold responsibility according to the standards of the law. In the future, we will do our best to do all legal actions without preemptiveness to prevent innocent damages to our artists from occurring due to an individual’s unilateral revelation. Any situation in which damage continues due to false facts on the company and affiliated singers Including all acts, etc.), additional legal actions will be continued.
6. Even in this situation, Seunghee is doing her best to digest the current schedule for everyone who cares about her, and WM Entertainment is also focusing on preparing a new album.
We apologize for causing concern once again to fans who may be worried about the artist we belong to. We also ask for your understanding that the position was delayed in order to respond carefully because it took one person’s precious life. Thank you.
