Singer and actress IU has filed a petition for evidence disclosure with a U.S. court to identify the source of malicious posts targeting her.

According to EDAM Entertainment on the 20th, IU submitted a request for evidence disclosure against Meta to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on the 15th.

Evidence disclosure (28 U.S.C. §1782) is an international judicial assistance procedure stipulated under U.S. federal law that allows U.S. federal courts to authorize the acquisition of evidence held by companies or individuals within the United States for use in trials currently underway or scheduled abroad.

An EDAM Entertainment representative told StarNews, "No results have been received yet following the application for evidence disclosure."

According to IU's petition, she alleged that malicious poster A created a total of 52 false posts between March 2025 and October 2025, damaging her reputation and honor. Since she could not identify A's identity, it has been difficult to continue legal proceedings in Korea, so she requested the U.S. court to order Meta to submit A's key personal information held by the company.

The petition included allegations of IU's plagiarism suspicions, claims referring to Chinese nationality or Chinese capital proxies, mentions of the overseas commercial failure of "Love wins all," references to marketing involving the late Sulli, Goo Hara, and Jong-hyun, accusations of media control and public opinion manipulation, and claims that she released a song mocking the Itaewon tragedy and Sewol ferry disaster.

IU is currently continuing legal actions against cyberbullies.
