On July 25, KST, Starship Entertainment released a statement revealing that the label is taking extensive legal action against the controversial YouTube channel Sojang (Tal-deok Camp).

The agency confirmed that it was able to order the owner of Sojang to submit their personal information to the court to respond to various suspected accounts of malicious online crimes.

Starship Entertainment explained, "Since November of 2022, the agency has pursued civil and criminal lawsuits both in Korea and overseas against the YouTube channel Sojang (Tal-deok Camp) in consultation with LIWU Law Group (Lawyer Jung Kyung Seok). In May of 2023, the U.S. District Court for The Northern District of California issued a provision of information, which called on Google Headquarters located in the U.S. to seek and obtain relevant information regarding the owner of Sojang by July of 2023. However, coincidentally right around this period, when Google issued a notice regarding the provision of information, Sojang was suddenly 'hacked' and all videos on the channel were deleted. The account itself was deleted subsequently, followed by the posting of an apology."

Despite the YouTube channel posting an apology after deleting the channel, Starship Entertainment explained that it will continue to ensure the individual behind the channel faces all civil and criminal consequences for their actions.

Starship Entertainment elaborated, "It is a well-known fact that Sojang severely defamed the members of IVE through the persistent spread of false rumors, thereby interfering in the business of our agency; the anonymous individual who claimed that they were the owner of Sojang on the online community Nate Pann also admitted to committing such acts. Notwithstanding the recent posting of a statement of apology or its authenticity and/or intent, Starship Entertainment intends on ensuring that this individual faces all civil and criminal consequences for the illegal activities of the past."

Korean netizens have become impressed with Starship Entertainment's tenacity in taking legal action against the malicious YouTube channel.

They commented, "Good Job," "They are really doing the right thing," "'m glad they're bringing justice," "I hope they take legal action against Sojang, Drama gal, and every YouTube channel like them," "This is one thing Starship is doing well," "I'm cheering for Starship, I hope HYBE takes some action too," "Daebak," "Good Good," "I really want to see Sojang in jail," "I'm so glad they are taking this to the end," "This is such a relief" "I guess Sojang was pretending to be hacked. It's because Starship filed the lawsuit," "Finally!" and "The other labels need to do the same thing!"
