Zenith Media Contents said in their official statement, "We ask again that you refrain from making exaggerated analysis, one-sided claims, and releasing speculative articles before the police investigation is over. 

We are very regretful that the one-sided claims were again brought to attention by bringing in the topic of the victim being a former idol member who isn't promoting anymore. More so than that, we are worried that misunderstanding and contempt will rise for the private lives of the whole idol group.  We hope that there will be no exaggerations regarding this.

We have currently submitted plenty of evidence that will prove that the lawsuit is based on false accusations. The truth will soon be revealed. And for those who look upon this situation as noise marketing, this is something that cannot realistically happen, so we hope that you will use your sensible judgement.

We plead that you look upon this situation rationally and without bias so that the future  of ZEST, who have barely even taken a step towards their dreams, will not be harmed."
