Hello.
It's SM Entertainment.
I would like to inform you of the progress of legal action regarding the infringement of rights against our artist Yoona (Im Yoon-ah).
Through fans' KWANGYA 119 reports and separate continuous monitoring, we have already received a complaint and asked for cooperation in the investigation, confirming that posts such as spreading false information, malicious slander, and defamation against Yoon-ah (Im Yoon-ah) are being posted and distributed.
We are taking all possible civil and criminal measures, including criminal complaints, against any illegal activities that are expressed to remind you of an artist by using not only the artist's real name, but also initials, nicknames, etc., and will respond strongly without any leniency or agreement.
Generating rumors with unconfirmed content or posting malicious articles/video etc. is clearly illegal. Please avoid writing and disseminating indiscriminate malicious posts about artists and be careful not to get involved in unsavoury things by violating laws.
We will continue to do our best to protect the rights and interests of our artists.
