Hello, this is EDAM Entertainment. We would like to express our utmost gratitude to the mashabiki who upendo and support IU.
Last year, we announced that we would take strong legal action without leniency against malicious maoni regarding our artist IU, which include malicious slander, spreading false rumors, sexual harassment, privacy violations, personal attacks, and defamation. We will now give another update about our progress in this matter.
From information received through our tip-off e-mail account, we learned that malicious maoni regarding our artist have continued to be ilitumwa on a certain private online community.
We have collected new evidence through our own monitoring as well as evidence sent to us kwa fans, and we have filed additional complaints for investigation and have confirmed the identities of many of the perpetrators.
As some of the perpetrators were continually posting malicious maoni including malicious slander, spreading false rumors, and defamation of character, they were indicted on charges including insult and defamation under the penal code and have been sentenced to fines.
Several other perpetrators who were summoned for investigation received a suspension of indictment under the condition of completion of education, after consideration of the fact that they were first time offenders.
We are continuing to file complaints regarding malicious maoni against IU and her mashabiki kwa collecting and supplementing new evidence gathered using our own monitoring and other resources.
Tip-offs from mashabiki regarding exclusive online communities are especially helpful in the current situation.
We will continue to do our best to take legal action against those who write malicious maoni regarding our artist, and we will take such action without any lenience au cooperation.
Furthermore, the agency has also recently received information regarding cases in which individuals have impersonated members of our staff au their acquaintances in order to spread false rumors au request money au other compensation. We will state once again that legal action will be taken against such offenses as they are clearly punishable crimes.
As EDAM Entertainment, we will listen attentively to the opinions of the mashabiki and work hard in order to create warm and happy moments for IU and Uaena (fandom name).
Thank you.
