G-Friend will be taking legal action toward those leaving hate comments.
Source Music announced,
Hello, this is Source Music.
We are making our announcement on the hate comments toward G-Friend that spread malicious rumors, attack their character, sexually harass them, and harm their image.
We have continuously monitored portal sites and internet communities to collect data on repeated offenders who leave hate comments with malicious intent without any care for the truth of the comments. We will be taking legal action through our law firm Ganwoo.
This legal action is for G-Friend to have better promotions and also to protect their rights, and this is for the malicious netizens that have repeatedly hurt G-Friend.
We will not be making any negotiations with these malicious netizens so we can protect our artists' basic rights, and we will continue to take all possible legal action without any negotiations against future offenders as well.
The label also added contact information to fans who wanted to help collect data on malicious netizens against G-Friend.
Hopefully this will stem some of the hate.
Cyber-bullying is at an all-time high and very little is being done to stop it. Rather than just blocking comments from being written it is important to educate all users about appropriate behavior on the internet and create a positive culture that can be spread to all.
