Hello, we're Around Us Ent.

First of all, I would like to say that unfounded information currently circulating on the Internet is absolutely not true.

This dissemination of false information constitutes defamation under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. and undermines the reputation and trust of the members, resulting in enormous mental and economic losses. In response, we would like to inform you that we will take the following strong legal action.

Criminal action: A person who disseminates false information will be charged with defamation under Articles 70 of the Information and Communication Network Promotion and Information Protection Act and Articles 307 and 309 of the Criminal Act.

Civil damages claims: We will take legal action, including civil damages claims, against Highlight members and anyone who caused economic losses to the Company due to the dissemination of false information.

We will never sit idly by and take responsibility for any act that discredits and damages our artists by spreading unconfirmed false information or malicious posts and comments, and will be held accountable through strong legal action.

Thank you very much for your warm affection and interest.

We will also do our best to protect the artist.
