Hello. This is KOZ Entertainment. We are regularly taking necessary legal actions, including filing legal complaints, to protect BOYNEXTDOOR’s rights. During the second half of this year, we have collected materials through fan reports and internal monitoring related to excessive insults, sexually harassing remarks, and the distribution of invalid false information targeting BOYNEXTDOOR and each of its members (including all forms of insults or false claims using derogatory nicknames or initials), and we plan to pursue criminal charges. For this purpose, we are monitoring in real time malicious posts and comments targeting our artists—such as the distribution of false information, insults, and sexual harassment—across domestic online communities (Naver, Daum, Nate, Theqoo, DC Inside, Instiz, Ilgan Best, FM Korea, Weverse, etc.), music streaming services (Melon, Bugs Music, Genie Music, etc.), and international social media platforms (X, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, etc.). In addition, we are continuously reviewing reports submitted by fans via the “HYBE Artist Rights Violation Integrated Reporting Site (protect.hybecorp.com).” Through this notice, we reaffirm that any acts of defamation, including insults and the dissemination of false information about the artists, constitute punishable offenses under criminal law. We will take all possible legal actions against such acts. Your reports are of great help in our legal response to protect our artists. If you encounter malicious posts about BOYNEXTDOOR, please report them through the relevant site’s reporting function if available, as well as through the “HYBE Artist Rights Violation Report Website (https://protect.hybecorp.com).” We are always grateful for the affection and dedication shown by our fans. KOZ Entertainment will continue to work to ensure that the rights of our artists are fully protected. Thank you.
