Mark, a former member of the group NCT, has announced legal action against malicious posts.
Mark's agency, UPPER ROOM, stated on the 2nd that "Since its establishment earlier this year, we have been continuously monitoring malicious posts targeting our artist, including malicious defamation on various online platforms and SNS, dissemination of baseless false information, and infringement of personality rights."
It further added, "Currently, the artist is more concerned about the emotional pain and stress that fans may experience due to these malicious posts than his own. Therefore, we will take firm legal action against malicious posts and comments that qualify as cyberbullying for the sake of both the artist and our fans."
The agency also promised, "We will do our utmost to ensure that only beautiful interactions centered around music continue between the artist and our fans."
Meanwhile, Mark's exclusive contract with SM Entertainment expired last April, leading him to end all activities in NCT 127, NCT DREAM, and other NCT groups.
At the time, regarding the termination of his contract and departure from NCT, Mark stated, "As the contract was being finalized, I deeply reflected on my own dreams. Moving forward, I wish to focus entirely on those dreams."
◆ Below is the full official statement from UPPER ROOM.
