Wake One thanked fans and confirmed that formal complaints have been submitted.
Investigations to identify the perpetrators are ongoing in coordination with law enforcement.
[TV Daily Reporter Choi Hana] The group Alpha Drive One has announced that it has begun taking legal action against defamation and the spread of false information.
Their agency, Wake One, expressed gratitude to fans in an official statement released on the 21st, revealing that they hired a law firm back in February to prepare for legal actions against illegal activities related to their artists. They highlighted that formal complaints had already been filed in April and May against malicious posts.
The agency has been systematically collecting relevant materials through monitoring over the past few months and stated that actions were taken against posts involving defamation and the production of obscene content across online platforms. The investigation is ongoing as they work to secure evidence to identify the perpetrators while coordinating closely with law enforcement.
Alpha Drive One's legal action against malicious posts extends beyond mere protection of their artists' reputations. It aims to alleviate the confusion experienced by fans and strengthen the trust in the artists under their agency. In light of the growing prevalence of false information in the entertainment industry, this legal response is viewed as a significant step forward.
This situation underscores the vital role of fandom in the entertainment landscape. Fans must take an active stance in protecting their artists, and remaining passive is not an option. There is hope that Alpha Drive One's legal actions can serve as a positive example for other artists in similar situations.
With the ongoing investigation, it is hoped that necessary information will be gathered swiftly so that the perpetrators receive appropriate punishment. Such actions are expected to contribute to deterring defamation and the spread of falsehoods within the entertainment sector.
