Hello.
It's BELIEFLAB.
First of all, I would like to deeply thank ENHYPEN for their generous support and support.
We have requested several notices to stop violating the artist's privacy, but despite repeated warnings, the situation has not improved and the level is getting worse. As a result of this, the mental and physical damage suffered by artists has reached an extreme level, and we will take every possible action, including legal action, to protect artists. In this regard, I would like to inform you of the ongoing issue as follows.
1. Legal action against acts that threaten the safety of artists, such as stalking and personal information infringement
Recently, serious stalking has occurred, such as unauthorized intrusion into the artist's accommodation and illegal filming of the artist's appearance. The company recognized the issue and immediately reported it to the police on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Housing Intrusion and Stalking Crimes, and the suspects were arrested as current offenders and are currently under police investigation. We are actively cooperating with the investigation process so that the suspects can be punished according to the relevant laws and regulations.
In addition, we are also responding by checking a number of posts that illegally acquire or falsely generate artist personal information and sell it at a price. For example, we are taking aggressive legal action, such as reporting accounts selling artists' personal information online to Chinese public authorities.
Any attempt to contact the artist repeatedly by illegally obtaining the artist's phone number or residence address, or to visit a private space other than an accommodation or official schedule, is a clear crime that creates fear and causes serious mental and physical damage to the artist. We will continue to strengthen monitoring to immediately and firmly carry out all civil and criminal legal actions we can take against related illegal activities. Regardless of the suspect's nationality, the company is responding hard with the principle of zero tolerance and no agreement, and the criminal punishment history of these suspects can be the basis for dispositions under the Immigration Control Act, such as forced eviction and entry ban.
2. Legal measures against acts of infringement of personal rights, such as malicious slander and dissemination of false information
Through valuable information from fans and real-time self-monitoring, we have secured evidence for malicious posts and comments such as insults, defamation, and sexual harassment against artists and continue to take strong legal action on a regular basis.
Specifically, we are continuously monitoring domestic communities and portal sites such as Naver, Daum (women's generation, Jilbang, etc.), Nate, Douku, Dish Inside, Insties, Daily Best, Epem Korea, Weverse, Posttype, as well as music platforms (Melon, Bugs, Genie Music, etc.) and overseas SNS channels (X, Instagram, YouTube, etc.). As a result, we collected a number of malicious posts and comments that undermine the artist's reputation and personal rights, and filed a complaint with the investigative agency, including those who wrote posts that spread excessive insults, ridicule, personal attacks, sexual harassment, and groundless false information toward the artist.
3. Legal action against forgery or theft of ID cards related to participation in fan events
Recently, there is an increasing number of cases of applying for or participating in fan events by falsifying ID cards or stealing other people's identities. This is cheating that harms other fans and hinders the opportunity to participate in fair events. If this behavior is confirmed, both the name lender and the name borrower will be excluded from future fan event entries and participation, and may be criminally punished according to relevant laws and regulations. In order to protect artists and create a healthy and correct fandom culture, we will continue to actively respond to these irregularities, including complaints and accusations.
Fans' interest and reporting are very helpful in such legal action. If you find an illegal case, such as malicious posting related to the artist or threatening the artist's personal safety, please actively report it through 'Hive Artist Rights Infringement Reporting Site (protect.hybecorp.com )'. In order to make your report more effective in legal action, please report using PC full screen capture or PC screen print file (PDF) rather than mobile screen capture as much as possible so that information such as URL, publisher, date of writing, content of post, and date of capture can be clearly seen.
We promise to hold all illegal activities that violate the rights and interests of artists to the end without any leniency or agreement in accordance with the principle of zero tolerance, regardless of the nationality of the illegal person. ENHYPEN ENHYPEN ENHYPEN: Thank you very much for your unwavering love and support, and BILLIFRAB will continue to do its best to protect the rights and interests of artists.
