The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated on October 3, "This past August, Baek Ji Young's agency requested an investigation on the charge of netizens leaving profane bulletin posts and comments online concerning one's family affairs."

According to the police, netizen A received attention for his post on an online community site which reads, "Baek Ji Young XXX Because she kept on smoking XXXXX She became like that", which was uploaded on the day of her miscarriage. The police have tracked down the IP address of this netizen, confirmed the perpetrator's identity, and demanded that the person participate in an investigation. Not only netizen A but other malicious posts including, "If you feel sorry for the baby, go kill yourself", "Didn't you have a miscarriage on purpose", and more caught the eye of Baek Ji Young's agency to a point which they couldn't tolerate it any longer. The police also confirmed the identity of six other netizens involved and are currently in the middle of an investigation.

A WS Entertainment rep responded, "Do these people who make sarcastic remarks and ridicule a woman who suffered a miscarriage have common sense? We will take action against netizens who gave deep emotional pain to Baek Ji Young and her family."
