ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Agency Shares Update On Legal Action Against Malicious Posts

ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s agency WAKEONE has shared an update on its ongoing legal action against malicious online activity targeting the group.

On May 21, WAKEONE revealed that it had filed formal complaints against individuals responsible for spreading malicious posts—which include the spread of false information, personal attacks, the production and distribution of obscene content, defamation, and insults—about ALPHA DRIVE ONE members across online communities and social media platforms.

The agency also stated that investigations are currently underway, including the execution of search and seizure warrants to identify the perpetrators.

Hello, this is WAKEONE.

First, we would like to sincerely thank all the fans who continue to show deep love and support for our artists.

As previously announced in February, our company appointed the law firm Shin & Kim LLC and informed that we would be taking legal action against illegal acts targeting our artists, including the spread of false information and defamation. We would now like to provide an update regarding the ongoing investigation.

Over the past several months, we have continuously collected and reviewed related posts and materials through our own monitoring efforts.

Based on this, we submitted formal complaints twice in April and May against malicious posts targeting certain members of ALPHA DRIVE ONE on online communities and social media platforms such as Naver Cafes and blogs, DC Inside, and X (formerly Twitter). The complaints involve malicious posts containing false information, personal attacks, the production and distribution of obscene content, defamation, and insults.

Investigations are currently underway, including the execution of search and seizure warrants to secure evidence needed to identify the perpetrators.

We have obtained and are analyzing information necessary to identify suspects from certain platforms, and we are continuing necessary follow-up procedures while closely cooperating with investigative authorities.

This legal action is intended to correct distorted information and false claims and to protect our artists from malicious slander and violations of their rights and interests. It also aims to prevent confusion and harm experienced by fans due to the spread of false information.

We will continue to responsibly pursue all necessary legal procedures regarding this matter through to the end.

We will continue to do our utmost to protect the rights and interests of our artists.

Thank you.

IVE’s Agency Shares Update On Legal Action Against Malicious Posts And Deepfake Content

IVE’s agency STARSHIP Entertainment has provided an update on its ongoing legal response against malicious online activity targeting the group.

On May 11, STARSHIP Entertainment released a statement addressing its continued legal action against individuals involved in spreading defamatory and harmful content about IVE members, including the creation and distribution of deepfake materials.

The agency stated that it has filed criminal complaints against malicious posts across various online communities and social media platforms based on fan reports and its own monitoring efforts.

Hello, this is STARSHIP Entertainment.

We are continuously taking legal action against individuals who create and distribute malicious content targeting our artist IVE (ANYUJIN, GAEUL, REI, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ, and LEESEO), including defamation, the spread of false information, sexual harassment, personal attacks, insults, invasion of privacy, and other forms of malicious slander.

Such conduct is clearly unlawful and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances or justified for any reason. We make it clear that we will not show leniency or make exceptions in these matters and will hold all responsible parties fully accountable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

In this instance as well, based on reports from fans and materials collected through our own monitoring, we have filed criminal complaints with investigative authorities regarding malicious posts across various platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), DC Inside, Naver, Daum Cafe, Nate Pann, Instiz, TheQoo, MLB Park, FM Korea, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. These posts have been submitted as evidence in criminal proceedings, regardless of whether they have been deleted, set to private, or whether accounts have been changed or deactivated.

We have also secured substantial evidence of activities such as the creation and dissemination of malicious rumors and false information about our artists, as well as posts that ridicule, defame, or contain sexually explicit content, along with the production and distribution of manipulated materials such as deepfakes. We will continue to pursue strict legal measures, including both criminal complaints and civil claims, without leniency.

Thank you.
