[NOTICE] Update Notice on Legal Proceedings Against Violation of Artist Rights (December. 27)

Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment. We regularly initiate legal proceedings against perpetrators of malicious activities related to BAEKHO, including defamation, personal attacks, sexual harassment, the dissemination of false information, and ill-intentioned criticism. Below is the summary of our key activities: We collect evidence through our advanced internal monitoring system and valuable fan reports, as a part of our efforts to protect our artist's rights. While most malicious posts are deleted after posting to avoid leaving evidence, we are collecting all evidence through our internal system that supports real-time monitoring and evidence collection. We would also like to inform you that anonymous posts can still be traced and legally punished through police investigation. The latest round of legal complaints includes all malicious posts containing insults including sexual harassment, as well as numerous posts that continue to spread rumors that are clearly untrue. We would like to inform you that evidence of these posts have been collected and complaints have been submitted to the jurisdictional police station. We would like to reaffirm that we will take strong legal action against individuals responsible for malicious posts that infringe upon the artist’s rights. We will continue to take strong legal action without any settlements or leniency extended to the perpetrators. Your interest and reports are of great help in our legal response. We are always grateful for your love and support for BAEKHO, and should you encounter malicious posts or illegal cases related to him, please report them through the “HYBE Artist Rights Violation Report Website (https://protect.hybecorp.com)" Thank you for your love and support for BAEKHO. We will continue striving to safeguard the rights of the artist. Thank you.
