Seo Ye-ji‘s legal response to malicious commenters... Former staff also sent to prosecution on charges of defamation [Official]

Actress Seo Ye-ji’s side has revealed the results of their legal response regarding malicious commenters.

On the 3rd, Seo Ye-ji‘s agency Sublime shared the status of criminal complaints regarding malicious posts and comments about Seo Ye-ji.

They stated, “In order to respond to malicious slander, spread of false information, defamation, and other criminal acts directed at our affiliated actress Seo Ye-ji, we formed a dedicated team and filed the first complaint against malicious commenters at the Gangnam Police Station in January.

They continued, “Recently, a former staff member who spread false information about actress Seo Ye-ji was sent to the prosecution on charges of defamation, and some of the individuals whose identities have been confirmed will soon be sent to the prosecution. We will continue to track down the other defendants so that they can be severely punished according to the law,” they emphasized.

The agency promised, “In the future, through continuous monitoring, we will take strong legal action against all criminal acts against our actors that occur online. In any case, we will respond resolutely without leniency or agreement to protect the rights and interests of our artists.”

Meanwhile, Seo Ye-ji’s side announced in January that they had received the first complaint against around 130 malicious commenters and announced that they would respond strongly without any leniency.

On the 13th of last month, Seo Ye-ji personally explained the rumors about Kim Soo-hyun through her fan cafe. He confessed regarding the rumors that Kim Soo-hyun had an affair with Seo Ye-ji while he was dating the late Kim Sae-ron, and that he also dated Kim Soo-hyun’s cousin, Irobe, the CEO of Gold Medalist, Kim Soo-hyun‘s agency, saying, “I have absolutely no relationship with him or his older brother (Irobe). I don’t even know why I have to explain this, but I feel very frustrated today.” He then said, “I‘m human too, so I’m really burdened, overwhelmed, tired, sad, and suffocating. Please bear with it, and bear with it. I replied and deleted it without realizing it,” expressing his frustration.
