Hello, this is FNC Entertainment.

We thank all the fans who send their interest and loving advice to our label's artists.

However, recently, a few malicious netizens have been spreading baseless rumors and have been writing hate comments to portal sites and internet communities without any filter about our label artists, and are seriously damaging their character. Because of this, the artists as well as their family and friends are sustaining serious mental damage.

In response, to protect our label artists and to prevent further victims from being hurt, we are continuously collecting IDs that are writing hate comments, and making and spreading rumors. In the case of our label artists becoming slandered and defamed, we will be taking strong legal action.

Internet word violence is something that must be eradicated not only in the entertainment industry, but for the society in total. We will be working hard for a healthy internet culture. Please take a lot of interest and understanding to this. Thank you.
