DKZ' label Dongyo Entertainment will be taking legal action against malicious commenters.

The announcement comes following DKZ member Kyoungyoon's controversial family involvement in the JMS cult, which hit the spotlight following the popularity of the Netflix documentary 'In the Name of God: A Holy Betrayal'. When a list of addresses allegedly connected to the JMS cult were doxed online, a cafe owned by Kyoungyoon's parents drew attention. 

Dongyo Entertainment stated, "Recently, defamation, insults, sexual harassment, spread of false information, and malicious criticism about our artists online have been causing emotional distress to not only the artists, but also their fans."

The label continued, "We've secured data and evidence that we've gathered internally through self-monitoring and fan reports, and last year, we also filed criminal complaints through a law firm against perpetrators who spread groundless rumors and malicious posts about our artists," adding that they'll be taking legal action without settlement or leniency in the future.

Stay tuned for updates on DKZ.

About time they did something. I doubt it’ll do much good unfortunately.
