Recently, Sunmi and her agency MakeUs Entertainment announced that they would be preparing to take legal action against malicious commenters who seek to intentionally tarnish Sunmi’s image through groundless claims.
In particular, the statement criticised the fact that netizens could leave hate comments and then hide behind an anonymous profile, without any consequences.
With this new step, these netizens will be held accountable for their actions.
Sunmi posted the full official statement on her Twitter, with many fans praising her action.

With someone who has garnered much public attention and praise as Sunmi has, unfortunately haters and malicious comments are inevitable.
Thankfully, both Sunmi and her fans agree that this is the right step forward, to ensure that the rights of idols and artists is protected, and that internet culture can be a better and more accepting environment.
