We have been contacting the police to discuss more appropriate measures and are discussing possible legal actions through our dedicated law firm.
We informed the operators of the overseas sites where the postings threatening the artist's safety have been uploaded. We are requesting action against the individuals who have uploaded the post and requested the posts' deletion.
We have reported the accounts that are constantly posting hate images on social media and tagging the artists' accounts on the post. We will continue to report the new accounts so that their operation can be suspended.

When it comes to threatening your safety, absolutely report it. That’s the line. Let the idiots talk, but the moment they start threatening your well being report it and do what you need to.
