Fans Criticize SM’s Statement To Take Legal Action Against Malicious Attacks Towards BoA

Fans want real progress and action.

Recently, SM Entertainment posted an official statement regarding their artist, BoA.

Hello, this is SM Entertainment. This is to inform you about issues regarding our artist BoA. Due to the recent accounts of false rumors, malicious attacks, and slander against our artists on social media and online communities, we have started large-scale lawsuits in Korea and overseas with the law firm Sejong, which is in charge of legal action cases for our artists.

Since our last statement, we have combined substantial evidence and made progress in our lawsuit against malicious accounts. We will continue to collect more evidence to make the attackers accountable for their actions.

The amount of malicious attacks is so severe that our artist is currently experiencing hardship both physically and mentally. We will not show leniency or take settlements until the attackers are held legally accountable. Please understand that even now, you may be subject to punishment for any malicious posts.

We want to clarify that such malicious attacks violate the law and that it is possible to face harsh punishment. We ask that you stop these attacks against our artists. Thank you.

However, fans criticized the vague statement, stating that it was no different from their past warning and posts.

K-Netizens also begged SM to take real action and protect BoA.
