SEE ALSO: YG Entertainment to take legal measures against malicious rumors about their artists

YG Entertainment stated, "Whenever articles would get released concerning the agency and its artists, malicious comments would interfere with our business and cause emotional distress so we filed a complaint to request an investigation this past July. The Mapo Police Station traced the IP address and through persistent tracing, Mr. Kim was caught. Mr. Kim confessed to his crimes."

"Mr. Kim was so obtrusive with his malicious rumors that even the agency staff and fans knew his name. The uncountable amount of malicious comments continued repetitively, and become more malicious with time, causing harm to YGE and its artists."

"When the level of damage became serious, in order to protect the agency, our artists and representatives, we filed with the police. The Mapo Police Station working on this case managed to receive a confession from the suspect after two months of investigation."

Mr. Kim wrote in his letter of apology, "When I first began to write malicious comments a few years ago, I was receiving a lot of stress from personal issues so I wrote negative comments to relieve my anger. It became an addiction like drinking and smoking and I became addicted to writing those comments. I send my apology and I promise that I won't do it again."

The agency also revealed that despite having been lenient for a while to these malicious comments as the perpetrators are usually teens, they will now be taking a more aggressive stance on the matter and respond with legal action.
