Hello. This is BELIFT LAB. We would first like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to ENGENE for their unwavering support and love for ENHYPEN. We are actively pursuing all possible measures, including legal action, to protect our artists from criminal acts such as invasions of privacy and stalking. We emphasize once again that perpetrators will not be exempt from liability regardless of whether they are minors, students, or foreigners, and that no settlements or leniency will be granted. Details regarding the progress of the related cases are provided below. - With respect to repeated stalking activities, such as hiring a driver to follow the artist and photograph the company building and residence, law enforcement authorities determined that both the perpetrator and the driver were liable for stalking offenses and issued a disposition of deferred prosecution. - Individuals who unlawfully entered the artist’s residence and fled were immediately reported and tracked. Following court proceedings, they were found in violation of Punishment of Violences Act for unlawful entry into a shared residence and were sentenced to fines. Furthermore, the act of obtaining undisclosed schedules and appearing at airports or non-public schedule locations is causing significant physical and mental harm to the artists. We will pursue strict legal action against any behavior that infringes upon the artist’s privacy or obstructs their work, and we explicitly state that the perpetrators will bear full responsibility for any resulting consequences. BELIFT LAB is committed to proactively addressing any actions that threaten the safety of our artists. To ensure their protection, consequences such as exclusion from fan events may be imposed on violators without prior warning or notice. - During a recent fan event, some participants were found to have engaged in inappropriate behaviors toward the artists, including verbal abuse and threats. These individuals were immediately banned from participating in the event. Furthermore, we are regularly taking legal action by collecting evidence of malicious posts and comments targeting our artists through valuable reports from fans and our real-time monitoring system. - Last year(2024), summary dispositions were issued for some of the defendants involved in filed complaints. - This quarter, based on ongoing monitoring of major portals (Naver, Daum Cafe, Nate, etc.), online communities (Theqoo, DC Inside, Instiz, Ilgan Best, FM Korea, etc.), music streaming platforms (Melon, Bugs, Genie Music, etc.), and international social media channels (X, Instagram, YouTube, etc.), complaints have been filed against individuals who have posted content that insults or harms the reputation of the artists. We deeply appreciate your continued love and support for ENHYPEN. We will continue to do our best to ensure that the rights of our artists are fully protected. Thank you.
