Stray Kids is gearing up the audience for the release of their full fourth album, “KARMA,” and their title track, “CEREMONY,” on August 22. As the date approaches, the boys have been receiving so much attention, including negative comments from their detractors.
JYP Entertainment, Stray Kids’ music agency, is well aware of the malicious comments about the boy band online; that’s why they have issued a new statement regarding their legal action on behalf of Stray Kids.
The music agency seeks to protect the boys’ rights by collecting malicious posts and comments from the domestic and international online communities to take strong civil and criminal measures. They are ready to protect their artists at all costs. Read the full statement below:
Hello, this is JYPE.
We would like to update you on the status of legal proceedings regarding acts that infringe upon the rights of our artists.
We have repeatedly announced our policy of taking firm action against cases that violate fundamental rights, such as personal rights, in order to protect our artists. Based on evidence gathered through fan reports and our own internal monitoring, we are currently pursuing legal action.
Recently, we have collected malicious posts and comments from domestic and international online communities and social media channels that defame and insult our artists by spreading false information and malicious slander, and we have recently filed criminal complaints. We will actively cooperate with the necessary investigations by the relevant authorities and intend to take strong civil and criminal measures.
As previously stated, there will be absolutely no leniency or settlement during this process. We will continue to monitor for any illegal activities that infringe upon our artists’ personal rights and disrupt their stable activities, and we will respond strictly, including by filing additional legal complaints.
If you have any evidence of such illegal acts, we ask for your active support in reporting it to us. ([email protected])
Thank you.
