BTOB member Lee Changsub‘s agency is taking a strong stance against the ‘malicious rumors’ regarding his nationwide tour concert. On the 6th, the agency Fantagio stated, “Last month, we collected evidence and filed a complaint against the illegal perpetrators who damaged the artist’s image and reputation through malicious slander, personal attacks, and spreading false information, and the investigation is currently underway,” and “We will take strong legal action without leniency or agreement in order to protect the artist.” Lee Changsub revealed the schedule for his first nationwide tour concert since his debut last month. At the time, Gwangju was excluded from the tour-related images, which were revised on November 1. This was a simple mistake, but some malicious commenters created rumors by exaggerating the interpretation that Lee Chang-sub intentionally excluded Gwangju.
