On September 16, former April member Hyunjoo provided an update on the lawsuits she and her acquaintances are currently facing against DSP Media.

In a lengthy written statement posted via Instagram on this day, Hyunjoo revealed that she is now facing additional lawsuits, while the criminal lawsuit centered around her bullying accusations are still ongoing.

Previously, Hyunjoo's younger sibling as well as two acquaintances were found 'not guilty' in their respective defamation lawsuits raised by DSP Media. The plaintiff's side has since appealed these cases. Hyunjoo was also found 'not guilty' of a lawsuit raised by DSP Media for 'interfering in business affairs'.

Now, Hyunjoo stated, "April members 'A' and 'C' have now filed additional lawsuits against me for defamation of character, and these two cases are currently under investigation."

She added, "I am currently dealing with so many lawsuits at once, and I admit that the financial strain is very difficult to deal with. Regardless, I am following along with the investigation diligently, and for those who have cheered me on, I will continue to face the lawsuits bravely."

Regarding the ongoing criminal lawsuit which deals with the bullying accusations initially raised by Hyunjoo's younger sibling, Hyunjoo assured that her family is doing their best to take part in the investigation diligently, while submitting any form of evidence applicable. She also denied past rumors which claimed that she rejected a summon request for questioning, and explained that she does not wish to publicize her medical records, despite some netizens' demands.
