AfreecaTV BJ Se Yeon has hinted at taking strong measures against malicious comments.
On August 13 KST, Se Yeon posted an announcement on her channel’s bulletin board, asking for reports of any false information or defamatory posts.
She stated, "If you come across any such content on any internet community, social media, etc., please attach it as a PDF file and send it to the provided email address. The material will be used for legal action, so I would appreciate many reports."
Recently, Se Yeon was spotted walking alongside HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, which sparked public interest. Netizens began speculating about the nature of their relationship.
On August 8 KST, HYBE explained, "Bang Si Hyuk happened to meet Seyeon’s sister at a gathering with acquaintances. He gave advice on how to deal with impersonators claiming to be from the entertainment industry. Later, when the two were both in LA, they asked for recommendations for tourist spots and restaurants, so he made reservations and guided them."
Following this, Seyeon addressed the issue during a live broadcast, explaining that she got to know Bang Si Hyuk through dealing with an impersonator. She also mentioned, "There is a restaurant in the U.S. that is very difficult to book. We were told it was impossible to get a reservation, but Chairman Bang, remembering the impersonator incident last year, kindly helped us out."
Seyeon, born in 2000, is affiliated with PlayTown and is active as a BJ on AfreecaTV. She has also appeared in Netflix variety show 'The Influencer.'
