Girls ‘Generation member and actress Seohyun has drawn her sword against malicious commenters and rumor spreaders.

On the 4th, Seohyun’s agency LEAD Entertainment announced through their official SNS, “We would like to inform you that we will respond strongly with legal action together with our partner lawyer(law firm)against malicious slander, spread of false information, posts containing personal attacks, posts containing defamation, and malicious comments that are being spread regarding Seohyun on various online communities and SNS.”

The agency then strongly stated that “spreading false information,” “posting insulting language,” “speech and actions that cause sexual shame,” and “repeated defamation and threatening messages” are all “clear criminal acts,” and “we inform you that there will be absolutely no agreement or leniency.”

He then said, “We have started collecting malicious comments to protect our artists, and the tips and data that fans provide will be of great help in our legal preparations and responses,” and asked, “If you discover any illegal cases, please report them.”

Meanwhile, Seohyun met the audience through the movie ‘Holy Night: Demon Hunters’ which was released on the 30th of last month, and will also return to the small screen through the new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘I Stole the Nam-joo’s First Night’ which will be aired for the first time.
