Hello, we’re IOK Company.

Regarding our actor Moon Chae-won, we have found a number of circumstantial evidence that groundless false information is being circulated as if it were true in various online communities, SNS, and YouTube.

As a result, we recognize that not only the mental damage of our actors, but also the image, honor, and personality of our actors are seriously damaged, and that our fans are also severely damaged.

We have been keeping a close eye on the situation based on continuous monitoring and data from fans, but we believe that excessive rumors are being produced out of control and are no longer at a level to ignore, so we would like to take a strong legal action to protect our actors.

Currently, the company has completed the first round of evidence collection through long-term internal monitoring and information, and will file a complaint through the law firm based on additional evidence.

To prevent this from happening again, we inform you that we will take strict measures without any agreement or leniency in the future to spread false information, create and post malicious rumors, and post malicious comments.

In the future, we will continue to thoroughly monitor and take regular legal action against malicious acts related to our actors.

If you find any illegal cases, please send us an e-mail.

Lastly, we will listen to your precious opinions and do our best to protect the rights and interests of your actors.
