CreBeau Cosmetics, the company that many believed to be at the center of the lawsuit between members of TVXQ, has announced they'll be taking strong legal measures against fans who allegedly spread false rumors about the company. CreBeau Corporation has charged some of these fans of spreading rumors on not only internet blogs but also various types of internet communities. Some of these rumors by the fans include that the company was a ponzi-scheme, that it manipulated stock prices in the millions of KRW, and that it used unverifiable and harmful substances in its products. For those fans who deleted their posts, the company withdrew pursuing charges against them. However, the others were faced with fines of over 2,000,000 KRW (approximately 2,000 USD) and are facing a civil lawsuit. Furthermore, last year, the public prosecutor concluded that CreBeau was not responsible for the lawsuit between members of JYJ and SM Entertainment. Despite this, however, some malicious fans are still writing false rumors on internet portals and communities. Additionally, they have translated them into English, Japanese, Chinese and other languages, and as a result, damaged CreBeau's reputation not just in Korea, but in markets abroad. An affiliate of the company said, "Up until now we have obtained sufficient evidence and the number of people (against whom we will take legal action) is significant. We have finished the legal review along with retaining an attorney. We cannot leave alone such acts and people such as– acts of writing/posting false rumors and have them spread around and not deleting them voluntarily; those people who posted false rumors drafted by others; acts of not deleting their own writings even though they have been spread by others; and acts of compulsively writing malicious replies; amongst others. On this legal action, we will have these people bear all responsibilities available under civil and criminal law." Source: News Wire via Daum
