Lee Soo-ji's agency has announced legal action against malicious posts and the spread of false information.

CP Entertainment, Lee Soo-ji's agency, released an official statement on the 8th: "Malicious slander, insults, personal attacks, spreading of false facts, defamation, and other posts and comments targeting Lee Soo-ji are continuously being posted and disseminated." The agency added, "We are carefully verifying all related matters and responding thoroughly."

It further warned, "Regarding acts of creating or spreading malicious posts or comments, we will proceed with all necessary legal measures, including civil and criminal actions, in collaboration with our legal representatives."

The statement concluded, "To protect the artist, we will respond strictly under a zero-tolerance principle without leniency or settlement."

Previously, Lee Soo-ji sparked controversy in July by uploading a video titled 'Civil Servant Kim Ji-young Defending Her Iron Rice Bowl' on the YouTube channel 'Hot Issue Ji.' The video depicted the daily life of a civil servant plagued by malicious complaints. However, it faced criticism for inserting audio from a citizen rally demanding a re-election, thereby equating rally participants with malicious complainers.

Following the controversy, the video was deleted. Lee Soo-ji later issued an apology, stating, "As a comedian who should bring laughter, I should have been more careful. I failed to fully consider that my performance and content could cause pain or discomfort to some."
