"Hello. This is Fantagio.
First of all, we would like to extend our gratitude to fans who love ASTRO. We originally aimed to go through with this discreetly since there are many fans who are concerned about our artist. However, we decided to announce a short statement to give an update about our intentions.
In our latest findings, harshly malicious posts have been discovered, which all went too far. This led us to decide that we could no longer stay idle and watch as it unfolds.
Hence, legal action is already under process and that if similar incidents should happen again, we will respond with no reluctance or leniency.
Regarding our monitoring for these posts, the process will be further amplified, and we will continuously respond to these malicious contents with legal action. We would like to remind everyone once again that no leniency will be present in carrying out our legal responses.
Thank you."
