Hello. This is PLEDIS Entertainment. We are continuously collecting malicious posts including defamation, insults, sexual harassment, the dissemination of false information, and ill-intended criticism about our artist HWANG MIN HYUN through valuable fan reports and internal real-time monitoring, as part of our efforts to safeguard his rights. We are taking regular legal action against those who upload malicious posts based on such evidence. In the second half of the year, we have collected comprehensive evidence of malicious posts and comments targeting the artist across various online communities and social media platforms through valuable fan reports and our internal monitoring initiative. We focused on identifying activities that violate the artist's privacy or damage his reputation by spreading false information, and have filed criminal complaints to the investigative authorities that extend to all individuals responsible for violation of privacy, creation and distribution of groundless rumors, as well as sexual harassment, threats, defamation, and insults. Moving forward, we will continue to prioritize our artist's rights and take strict legal measures against those responsible for defamation, insults, sexual harassment, spread of false information, and ill-intended criticism targeting the artist. We will further reinforce real-time monitoring and evidence collection, and actively cooperate with the investigative authorities to ensure that the perpetrators are punished in accordance with relevant laws. We will continue to take strong legal action without extending any settlements or leniency. Your interest and reports are of great help in our legal response. If you encounter malicious posts or illegal activities involving our artist, please report them through the “HYBE Artist Rights Violation Report Website (https://protect.hybecorp.com)" We are always grateful for your generous love and support for HWANG MIN HYUN. We will strive to safeguard the rights of our artist. Thank you.
