The agency of South Korea's national football team "ace" Lee Kang-in (25), Double Black Label, has warned of a strong response to false information spreading on online platforms.
Double Black Label issued a statement titled "Official Statement Regarding Player Lee Kang-in" through its official social media channels on the 13th.
The agency stated, "First, we would like to express our gratitude to everyone who cares for and supports South Korean football," adding, "We have confirmed that content inconsistent with the facts regarding player Lee Kang-in is being indiscriminately spreading, primarily centered around online platforms."
It further emphasized, "The series of matters currently being discussed are unrelated to player Lee Kang-in, and we clearly state that they are baseless."
Recently, Lee Kang-in has been receiving a considerable amount of attacks on online platforms.
Surrounding the so-called "96LINE" joint retirement rumors of the national team, unconfirmed rumors of internal conflicts and factions within the team spread, and the backlash reached Lee Kang-in as well.
Some online platform users accepted unverified claims that Lee Kang-in was involved in forming factions within the team or sidelining Son Heung-min as fact, leaving critical comments on Lee Kang-in's personal social media accounts.
Personal attack comments unrelated to playing ability, such as demanding his expulsion from the national team or questioning his character, also continued.
In particular, some YouTube content arbitrarily interpreted scenes from national team training and even raised claims suggesting that Lee Kang-in was involved in conflicts.
Ultimately, the agency stepped in directly.
Double Black Label mentioned the possibility of legal action against the spread of false information.
The agency conveyed, "We are collecting materials on posts and comments that constitute the spread of false information and defamation, and will proceed with necessary legal procedures depending on the circumstances."
It added, "We deeply appreciate the consistent interest and love you show for player Lee Kang-in, and we will do our best to protect the player."
Double Black Label signed a management contract with Lee Kang-in in August. Since then, it has supported Lee Kang-in's domestic and international activities while handling player protection and management.
