The agency conducted meticulous monitoring and data collection to compile an overwhelming amount of evidence, which clearly demonstrated the scale and severity of the harassment Baek Yebin faced.
This evidence formed the bedrock of the criminal complaint they filed with the Seoul Gangnam Police Station demonstrating their unwavering commitment to justice.
Read the agency’s official statement below:
"Currently, indiscriminate malicious comments and posts based on false facts such as continuous personal attacks, malicious comments, sexual harassment, and stalking are being posted toward our artist Baek Yebin.
As a result, we determined that it had reached a level that could no longer be tolerated, so we secured evidence and data through monitoring and reporting.
Recently, we filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul on charges of violating Article 44-7 Paragraph 1 Item 1 of the Information and Communications Network Act against those who continuously wrote socially unacceptable malicious comments and posts in communities and social media.
Even for posts deleted immediately after writing to avoid leaving evidence, the posts were captured and collected through real-time monitoring and delivered to the investigative agency.
We inform you that there will be no agreement or leniency in the process of legal action regarding the infringement of artist rights, and we will take strong legal action to prevent similar damage from occurring.
We are continuing to monitor, and we ask for active reports from fans through our artist's legal response account.
We will continue to do our best to protect the rights and interests of our actors and artists."
As the investigation unfolds, the world watches with hope that justice will prevail, and Baek Yebin's brave stand will inspire lasting change in the battle against online harassment.
