The situation
SM Entertainment has announced that it has already taken legal action against numerous accounts for posting malicious content about its artists. The agency emphasized that deleting or deactivating accounts will not exempt individuals from legal liability. SM has secured evidence and will pursue strict legal measures against all illegal acts.
What the internet did with it
- — "looks like they're finally taking action, about time" - a sentiment echoed by many fans who have been reporting malicious posts through KWANGYA 119.
- The list of accounts facing legal action includes over 200 individuals across various platforms, including X, DC Inside, YouTube, and theqoo, with 108 users from theqoo alone being targeted.
- On Theqoo, the vibe is unsurprisingly *답답해* (frustrated) with many users expressing relief that SM is taking concrete steps to address the issue, while others are skeptical about the effectiveness of these measures.
The open question
The exact timeline for the legal proceedings against these accounts remains unclear, with SM stating only that it will continue to gather and review evidence alongside its legal representatives.
