The agency confirmed the perpetrator was a minor and received an apology.
This incident is seen as a decision aimed at protecting the artist's rights.
Nasanghyun Band has disclosed that it has withdrawn its lawsuit against a minor who spread false information about the group. On November 28, 2025, the management company 'ReNewary' stated that after receiving an apology letter from the perpetrator, they submitted a withdrawal request for the lawsuit on November 26. This decision reflects efforts to clarify misunderstandings surrounding the artist and protect their rights moving forward.
The controversy began when a post appeared on online forums claiming that Nasanghyun had inappropriately touched a woman's thigh while intoxicated. Initially, Nasanghyun apologized, considering the discomfort of those involved, but the agency later reversed this narrative, insisting the allegations were false. They confirmed the perpetrator was a minor and recognized their fragile mental state before proceeding to withdraw the lawsuit upon receiving a written apology and agreement.
ReNewary emphasized its awareness of the unjust attacks against the artist and vowed to prevent similar incidents in the future. Nasanghyun Band is now set to refocus on their music activities.
This incident highlights the agency's commitment to protecting Nasanghyun Band's image and reputation. The spread of false information in community forums has significant ramifications, not just for the individual artist, but also for the entire band. Legal action is viewed as a professional response, particularly in an industry where asymmetric information can lead to increased harm.
Moreover, the decision to withdraw the lawsuit goes beyond mere legal complications; it has the potential to positively affect the band's rehabilitation and public perception. By clarifying the facts, the agency is setting the stage for rebuilding trust between the artist and their fans, which is crucial for moving past the negative narrative stemming from social controversy.
The evolution of Nasanghyun Band’s music post-incident will be a focal point for their future popularity. Strengthening communication with fans, along with musical maturity, could open new avenues for them in the industry.
