● The following is Seo Yuri’s SNS full text

Hello.This is Seo Yuri.
Today I’d like to talk about a slightly heavy topic.

I would like to talk about the continued insults and false information spread by malicious users towards me in the DC Inside Forest(Internet Broadcasting)community for several years, as well as the cyberbullying that continues to this day.

The malicious user has been continuously posting thousands of posts containing false information, abusive content, and sexual harassment on the DC Inside Forest community.
And that practice continues to this day.

Despite my multiple warnings to the user, the user continues to escalate his behavior and continues to post mocking posts.

Taking advantage of the fact that I had difficulty responding due to personal circumstances, he became even more aggressive in his online stalking and defamation against me.I eventually decided that I could no longer tolerate this and would take legal action.

We will definitely hold those responsible accountable through due process of law.

And to you who have tried to resolve the deficiencies you feel by hiding behind anonymity and projecting your inner conflicts or deficiencies outwardly, I have something I really want to say.

You probably don’t feel guilty even at this moment, because you still think your actions were right.

They must be living like that online because they are not accepted by society.A person who can have a conversation with logical thinking and precise language would not unilaterally criticize others using vulgar language.

You are a mentally ill person.
You are a very abnormal and very stupid person.Can you really be invincible like you said?
