We would like to provide an update regarding the current legal action being taken concerning malicious posts and comments, including defamation, insults, and sexual harassment, directed at our artist, Taeyeon.

While some criticized the company for publishing a Korean statement on the global social media site, others hit back at SM Entertainment’s hypocrisy. In the comments, netizens pointed out that while the company is trying to “protect” the artists from malicious posts, they are the main people mistreating the idols and are just “pretending” to care.
don’t try to make us believe that you are for the protection of your artists when you are the main actors in their mistreatment
everything you say is bullshit— charlie ✩ SEUNGHAN (@ttaroyaki) December 2, 2024
couldn’t you do the same with seunghan? Protecting him from the very beginning, instead of sitting in silent and let a poor guy bear that much hate. You set an horrible example by not taking action from the start, and now look, toxic fans believe they can do whatever they want.

WORK HARDER SM!
How can you celebrate the anniversary with a lot of cases that you haven’t solved. PROTECT ALL YOUR ARTISTS INSTEAD OF THROWING THEM AWAY WHEN YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE ALL PROBLEMS!
Don’t forget the FUNERAL WREATH, don’t you demand because you also take part?— fuchsiaperiwinkle (@fuchsiaperiwin1) December 2, 2024
Do you guys copy and paste these statements? And just change the name of the artist ? Because these statements are all the same and your actions are just the same 🤷♀️ absolutely nothing but words

Stop trying to distract us with irrelevant concerns like haters. At this point, even they have nothing to attack Taeyeon for—she’s so under-promoted that there’s barely any activity of hers for haters to comment on. Focus on addressing the REAL issue which is you @SMTOWNGLOBAL…
