The agency gave an official statement, “This is Fantagio. Firstly, we would like to thank all the fans who love our artists. While we initially planned to proceed with this quietly, because there are many fans who are worried about our artist, we have decided to make a brief statement to inform you about our plans.

Recently, it has come to our attention that malicious posts have become extreme, and we decided that we could no longer witness this. Therefore, have begun the process of taking legal action. We are also informing you that, if similar incidents continue to arise in the future, we will respond with strong legal action without leniency as well. We also plan to improve our monitoring of these actions, and we will continue to respond with stern legal action. Once again, we would like to emphasize that there will be no leniency with this. Thank you.”
