By YonhapPublished : Sept. 28, 2017 - 10:44
K-pop entertainment agency C9 said Thursday it will take legal action over vicious and sexual online comments made towards underage pop star Bae Jin-young, a member of popular idol group Wanna One.
"We've confirmed that malicious rumors, comments attacking his personal character and posts amounting to sexual harassment were made in several online communities towards Bae Jin-young," C9 said in a statement.
The company said it sought legal counsel on the matter and decided to press charges against the people responsible for spreading false rumors over the Internet.
The agency warns it has zero tolerance for people who write groundless and vicious comments about their stars.
