YouTube channel [탈덕수용소]Sojang has been sued.
It was reported earlier that ATEEZ‘s label KQ Entertainment released a statement on August 17 regarding their lawsuit against a certain YouTuber.
Hello, this is KQ Entertainment.
As of August 16, Our company and our artist ATEEZ have initiated legal proceedings against a YouTuber who recently published a malicious video on their channel on charges of violating the law on promoting the use of information and communication networks, insulting, obstructing business, and breaking copyright laws.
In addition, the YouTuber in question created a video spreading rumors as if they were true and was able to make a profit through it, which we judged to be very malicious. In particular, for deceiving fans supporting ATEEZ, we have decided to take strong legal action.
Hence, we recommend that those who made unfounded claims and malicious posts against our artists delete their posts. There will be no lenience or cooperation as we pursue both civil and criminal liability in these cases in the future. KQ Entertainment will always work to protect our artists’ rights and reputation. Please report any related evidence or documentation to the email address below.
