On August 19, 2025, JYP Entertainment made it crystal clear they’re to protect Stray Kids. The agency took to its official social accounts to issue a strong warning against anyone spreading false information or malicious slander targeting Stray Kids. Their stance is zero tolerance against those who share fake claims and spread rumors.

Reportedly, the company has already filed criminal complaints, gathering evidence from both fan reports and their own monitoring. The offensive posts came from online communities and social platforms, not just in South Korea but also internationally. JYP Entertainment stressed that they will be working closely with authorities to keep an eye on these cases, making sure those responsible face serious consequences.

Most importantly, they expressed that there will be no room for leniency or quiet settlements. Every act of defamation will be met with strong civil and criminal measures. The agency also encouraged fans to keep sending in reports through the official email (fan@jype.com), making it a united effort to protect the Stary Kids.
