They then followed up with details about legal proceedings that have already been completed.

We would also like to inform you about the completion of legal action.

Last year, Gong Yoo sued a netizen who had been harassing him with malicious comments for a long time. In April 2019, that netizen received their punishment, a fine.

For Jung Yu Mi, netizens who posted or circulated malicious rumors were also sued, and they were also punished with a fine.

Finally, they mentioned that while many of their actors and actresses were not mentioned specifically in the notice, they will continue to protect them through legal means.

In addition to the actors and actresses that were mentioned, we will continue to monitor for malicious comments about any of our actors.

We will continue to take regular legal action after securing evidence if there is any malicious comments, slander, defamation or false information posted.

In addition, we firmly believe that there will be absolutely no leniency or settlements for all of the perpetrators who commit these acts.
