DSP stated:
"We've launched legal action against netizens spreading false information regarding artists under our agency. On August 10, the company submitted a complaint to the Cyber Crimes Unit of the Gangnam Police Station and officially requested an investigation.
"Despite expressing our intention to take firm action regarding the malicious comments regarding our agency's artists via the official home page of the company this past July 30, situations like this have arisen, which we find to be such a shame. The company has decided that we could no longer turn a blind eye to the netizens who have made a habit of [creating] thoughtless untruths and personal attacks regarding our artists through portal sites and internet communities.
"A portion of netizens are making it seem as if contents from non-existing reports are true and making it seem as if they are people concerned in rumors that have no basis in fact and circulate [the rumors]. This could cause loss to an artist's image and also cause chaos in the public; and therefore, we reveal that we will take firm action against malicious comments and rumors."
Looks like netizens need to keep an eye out now as companies and artists alike have had enough of all the hate!
