Zico‘s agency, KOZ Entertainment, made an update on their legal efforts to fight malicious haters who continue to spread false rumors, as well as slander and attack him.
They had made an initial statement last November when they announced that they will be filing lawsuits without any settlement options.
They’ve kept to their word as they successfully prosecuted a group of haters, while the rest are still under investigation.
In November, we conducted our cases through our legal representative Jung Sol to file lawsuits against those who posted or spread false rumors about Zico, slandered him, personally attacked him, invaded his private life, and more.
After investigations, some of the perpetrators were briefly prosecuted under Article 311 of the Criminal Code. The rest of them are still under investigation and the results are expected to be announced soon.

KOZ also announced that they’re consistently monitoring online communities to prepare another round of lawsuits need be. As they did in the first round, they will not be having mercy on the cyber criminals.
We are constantly monitoring various community sites and social media channels, as well as receiving reports from our fans. We will carefully review the reports, and we will take all legal actions, both civil and criminal, including regular criminal charges and civil damages for acts against our artist.
