Full Statement from Palm Tree Island:
Hello,
This is Palm Tree Island.
First, we sincerely thank everyone for their unwavering support and interest in Kim Junsu. We take all acts of defamation, including malicious slander, the spread of false information, and personal attacks targeting our artist, very seriously.
To this end, we have engaged the legal firm Kim & Chang and initiated strong legal action. The spread of baseless rumors and defamatory posts constitutes a clear criminal offense, and we will take robust civil and criminal actions against such acts without negotiation or leniency.
We have already gathered ample evidence and are proceeding with legal procedures based on this material. Additionally, we are continuously collecting further evidence regarding ongoing malicious posts and the spread of false information. All collected materials have been submitted to our legal representatives.
We are closely monitoring malicious posts on specific online communities, including DC Inside, TheQoo, Instiz, Daum Cafe, and Nate Pann. Those who misuse anonymity to persist in malicious acts against our artist will face strict legal consequences without exception.
Moreover, we are investigating the actions of certain netizens who continue to spread baseless and distorted criticism, and all confirmed cases will be dealt with through appropriate legal channels.
We remain committed to protecting the rights and interests of our artist and are deeply grateful for the continued support and cooperation of our fans.
Thank you.
