Jung Dong-won's agency has announced a strong response to defamation, false statements, and the spread of rumors.

Jung Dong-won's agency, Showplay Entertainment, issued an official statement on the 29th, stating, "We are continuously confirming cases where individuals, going beyond the level of posting malicious content, impersonate fans to spread completely baseless information, distort or exaggerate specific situations to induce negative public opinion, incite internal conflicts within the fandom, and even cause damage to partner companies, thereby obstructing the artist's activities."

The agency further explained, "While these actions may appear to be typical fan activities on the surface, we are closely monitoring movements that actually damage the artist's image or aim to create confusion within the fandom. We are continuously collecting evidence regarding cases where individuals impersonate or are mistaken for the artist's representatives or officials without our prior consent or authorization, and we are conducting legal reviews and taking appropriate measures."

The agency side stated, "Protecting the artist's rights and interests is our top priority. Going forward, we will continue to take strong legal action without any leniency or settlement regarding the spread of false information, defamation, malicious slander, and the creation and dissemination of rumors, as well as impersonating fans or inciting conflicts within the fandom."

Meanwhile, Jung Dong-won enlisted as an active-duty Marine in February to fulfill his national defense obligations.
