Singer and musical actor Kim Junsu has taken full action against malicious online posts.
On June 1, Palm Tree Island announced in an official statement, “We plan to respond strongly in accordance with the zero-tolerance principle to the spread of false information, malicious defamation, and insulting posts,” and “We have filed multiple complaints with the Seoul Gangnam Police Station, and the identities of many of the writers have been identified, and we have entered the full-scale investigation phase.”

This measure seems to be the result of the mental distress that Junsu Kim has suffered online for a long time.The agency stated a firm stance, saying, “We will respond strongly to the end without any agreement during the investigation process.” They also said that they are constantly monitoring communities such as DC Inside, Deoku, Instiz, Daum Cafe, and Nate Pan, and are taking legal action in parallel.

Along with this, they warned that “there will be no leniency in cases where anonymity is used as a shield to repeat malicious acts,” and asked fans to actively report back.

This hard-line response is not unrelated to the blackmail incident that Junsu Kim experienced last year.It is known that Junsu Kim was blackmailed by female BJ A of AfreecaTV from 2020 to 2023, and extorted a total of 840 million won.The woman was sentenced to 7 years in prison in the first and second trials on charges of blackmail under the Aggravated Punishment Act for Specific Economic Crimes, and is currently awaiting the final judgment after submitting an appeal to the Supreme Court.

At the time, Junsu Kim revealed through his fan platform ‘From’, “I couldn’t take it anymore after being bullied for 5 years,” and “I couldn’t stand it anymore when I found out that I wasn’t the only victim.”
Kim Junsu, who is currently starring in the musical ‘Aladdin’, has stated that he has nothing to do with the woman’s drug-related incident.However, as malicious rumors continued online, his agency eventually took legal action.

The law is starting to respond to indiscriminate malicious comments.This time, there will be no anonymity or tolerance.
