He plans to take legal action against the false information.
He reiterated his refusal to engage in political events.
[TV Daily] Singer Taijin A has firmly expressed his intention to take legal action regarding the participation in the 'March 1st Celebration Free Concert' hosted by Jeon Han-gil. His agency publicly stated that Taijin A will not attend the event scheduled for March 2 at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. They highlighted that an event representative falsely asked Taijin A about his schedule and unilaterally treated his participation as a fact. Additionally, they shared that a representative visited Taijin A's café to inquire about his availability, clarifying their concern about whether it was a political event, only to be reassured it was a regular event. Following this, erroneous information began circulating online, and despite requests for rectification, it has spread widely. Taijin A's team is preparing to file defamation charges against the individual responsible. Furthermore, Taijin A reiterated that he has never participated in political events before.
Taijin A's announcement is a significant case regarding the issue of defamation in the entertainment industry. It clearly demonstrates how unfavorable misinformation about an artist’s expected participation in an event can damage their reputation and image. Given Taijin A's historical distance from political activities, this incident may impact him even more profoundly.
