Byun Woo-seok's agency, Baro Entertainment, has announced the progress of its legal actions against authors of malicious posts.

Baro Entertainment stated in an official statement on the 24th: "To protect the rights and interests of our artist Byun Woo-seok, we are conducting constant monitoring of malicious posts and comments. Regarding illegal acts such as spreading false facts, defamation, and insult, we are continuing legal action together with Yulchon Law Firm."

According to the agency, in the second quarter of 2026, additional lawsuits related to charges of insult were filed against a total of 36 malicious posts. The target platforms include DC Inside, Ruliweb, Ilgan Best Storage (Ilbe), Nate, Daum Cafe Women's Era, X (formerly Twitter), and Deuku.

Furthermore, as of the current investigation results, some authors of insulting posts posted on DC Inside and Ilgan Best Storage (Ilbe) have been identified, transferred to the local police station under their jurisdiction, and subsequently sent to the Prosecution Service. The agency explained that related procedures for the remaining cases are also being carried out sequentially.

However, since these matters are still under investigation, mentioning unconfirmed information or spreading speculation could potentially lead to further legal disputes. Therefore, the agency added that it is difficult to disclose specific details such as the progress of the investigation and information about the accused.

Baro Entertainment continued: "We are constantly monitoring posts and comments related to our artist across online communities, SNS, and various platforms." It also stated: "For posts that may infringe on rights through slander, mockery, defamation, etc., we are securing evidence through continuous monitoring and collection of proof."

It further emphasized: "While not all matters may lead to punishment, for confirmed illegal acts, regardless of the target or platform, we intend to hold them fully accountable without leniency or settlement, in accordance with principles. We will continue to do our best to respond to protect the rights and interests of our artists."
