On February 25, JYP Entertainment released an official statement of response in relation to new school bullying allegations raised against ITZY's Lia.

The label stated:

"We notify our official position regarding the recent online post which seems to be targeting our artist Lia. This post is a post which we have taken legal action against as of last year, and we are currently awaiting the outcome of the defamation lawsuit. All of the accusations raised in this post are entirely false, and we have decided to take additional legal measures against this post; furthermore, we have recognized the need to respond more strongly and strictly against false rumors, malicious posts, and other content aimed at defaming the characters of our artists and interfering in their promotions. We will be strengthening our legal response measures accordingly."

Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment also issued a warning of legal action earlier this week in response to school bullying allegations raised against Stray Kids member Hyunjin.
