[NOTICE] Update on Legal Proceedings Against Violation of Artist Rights (June. 24)

Hello. This is KOZ ENTERTAINMENT. It has come to our attention that malicious posts and comments associated with offenses such as defamation, personal attacks, and the spread of false information have been continuously and indiscriminately published against artist ZICO across various online communities and social networking platforms. In particular, the spread of vicious rumors and false information clearly irrelevant to the artist has become excessive, and we have decided that strong legal action was urgently needed. Subsequently, we documented malicious posts and comments across various online communities and social networking platforms and filed a complaint with an investigative agency. We will continue to take legal actions against malicious posts on a regular basis. We also want to clarify once and for all, that recent rumors surrounding the artist are untrue, and that we are taking a hard line on such unsubstantiated rumors. KOZ ENTERTAINMENT is committed to taking decisive action against authors of malicious posts based on fan reports and our internal monitoring efforts, to ensure that the rights of our artists are fully protected, regardless of how long it may take. There will be no leniency or settlement under any circumstances. Your interest in this matter and your reports are tremendously helpful in conducting our legal response. Should you come across any malicious posts or illegal activities regarding ZICO, please report them to KOZ ENTERTAINMENT’s official legal response hotline by email at protect_koz@kozent.com.
