On the 26th, IVE's agency, Starship Entertainment, stated via official SNS, "We are taking necessary legal action without exception against malicious defamation acts, including the spread of false facts, defamation, sexual harassment, personal attacks, insults, and invasion of privacy, targeting IVE members."

It further explained, "Such acts are illegal and cannot be tolerated under any pretext. We will respond severely after verifying facts and conducting legal reviews. We are currently requesting investigations and proceeding with related procedures regarding some malicious posts and accounts related to IVE."

It also conveyed, "We are continuously monitoring various SNS platforms not only for IVE but for all artists under our agency. For confirmed malicious posts, we plan to continue civil and criminal responses sequentially after legal review."

Emphasizing, "Regardless of whether posts are deleted, accounts are made private, IDs are changed, or accounts are deleted, the secured data will be submitted as evidence in criminal proceedings. Going forward, we will continue to take firm legal action under the principle of zero tolerance to protect the rights and dignity of our artists."
