Starship Entertainment announced the results of the trial of A, the operator of the "Taldeok Detention Center," and said, "We will continue to take legal action against illegal activities against our artists in the future."
Starship Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Starship) said on its official SNS on the 30th, "We have been conducting civil and criminal legal actions regarding the spread of false information, malicious slander, and defamation posted by the operator of the YouTube channel 'Taldeok Detention Center' against its artists. In this regard, the Supreme Court confirmed the original ruling on the case on the 29th."
"Even if the original trial wrapped up the form of speculation or suspicion, it could constitute a dissemination of false information if it is recognized as true in the entire context, and entertainers should also be sufficiently protected in their honor and personal rights," he explained.
Starship emphasized that it will continue to take strong legal action without any leniency or agreement for all illegal activities, including spreading false information, slander, defamation, and infringement of personal rights against its artists.
He said, "All legal measures will be taken, including criminal complaints, for the so-called 'Cyber Lekka' activities that use anonymity to disseminate fake news or cause cyberbullying through video and short-form content based on it."
Meanwhile, Jang Won-young, a member of the group IVE, was embroiled in an untimely "perception" controversy the previous day, which was confirmed to be untrue. He attended a photo event commemorating the launch of the 2026 SS Collection by Barrie, a high-end cashmere brand, and controversy erupted when some media reported that Jang Won-young was late and complained of reporters.
Since then, there has been a series of indiscriminate criticism against Jang Won-young, but it turned out that the field was not smooth in reality. The agency explained, "Due to the delay in the call sign by the event's management, Jang Won-young appeared after receiving the call sign at 11:35 instead of 11:30," adding, "We apologize for causing damage to Jang Won-young with incorrect information."
