Hello. This is BELIFT LAB. We have taken legal action against authors of malicious posts that include defamation, insults, sexual harassment, false information, and malicious slander against ILLIT. We wish to inform you of our progress. Even though they are a rookie group that debuted only three months ago, the posts directed at ILLIT have been extremely malicious and go far beyond the limits of common decency. Strong legal action was urgently needed to protect these new artists. As such, even before announcing how to report such posts, we have been collecting evidence of malicious posts and comments across all available channels since their debut, and have submitted a complaint with the investigative authority. The complaint includes those who wrote malicious posts and comments on local online community sites (Naver, Nate, theqoo, DC Inside, Instiz, ilbe, etc.), music streaming sites (Melon, Bugs Music, Genie Music, etc.), and overseas social media channels (X, Instagram, YouTube, etc.). Even posts which have been deleted in hopes of eliminating evidence have been collected via real-time monitoring process. As a result, complaints have been filed against hundreds of offenders with the police, and are being investigated as we speak. Malicious posts will continue to be collected at all times and complaints will be filed regularly. We will continue to enforce strict measures against malicious posts that invade the rights of the artists based on the reports made from our fans and evidence collected through our own monitoring to protect the well-being and interests of our artists. We will take decisive actions and hold those accountable to the end, no matter how long it takes. Our strict policy of no settlement and no leniency remains in effect. The support and information from the fans are crucial in our legal actions. If you find any malicious posts or illegal cases related to ILLIT, please report to the BELIFT LAB legal response hotline (protect@belift.kr). We appreciate your generous support and dedication. We will continue to strive to protect the rights and interests of artists. Thank you. [How to file reports of illegal activity] 1. Contact: protect@belift.kr 2.
