Actress Seo Ye Ji has been the target of malicious online commentary and false information, prompting her agency, Sublime, to take strong legal action. The agency has announced that a former staff member who spread false information about the actress has been indicted for defamation, and the case has been referred to the prosecution.
Legal Action Against Defamation
Sublime released an official statement on April 3rd, outlining their efforts to combat the online attacks against Seo Ye Ji.
To counter crimes such as malicious slander, the dissemination of falsehoods, and defamation directed at Seo Ye Ji, we have assembled a dedicated legal team. In January, we submitted the first complaint to the Gangnam Police Station. Recently, a former staff member who spread false information about Seo Ye Ji was indicted for defamation and referred to the prosecution. Some identified individuals will also soon be referred to prosecutors.
The agency emphasized their unwavering commitment to protecting their artist’s rights and holding perpetrators accountable.
We will track down all accused individuals to ensure they face strict legal consequences. Through continuous monitoring, we will take strong legal measures against all online criminal activities. Under no circumstances will we offer leniency or reach settlements, as our priority is to protect the rights of our artist.
Response to Recent Rumors
This legal action follows recent rumors involving Seo Ye Ji and actor Kim Soo Hyun, as well as his brother. The controversy began with a comment on a Naver fan café post on March 13th, questioning Seo Ye Ji about her past relationship with Kim Soo Hyun.
In response to the comment, Seo Ye Ji expressed her emotional distress.
As a human being, I feel overwhelmed, exhausted, suffocated, and deeply hurt. I initially replied to this comment but later deleted it. I sincerely hope this will stop. I have absolutely no connection with him (Kim Soo Hyun) or his brother (Lee Ro Bae). I don’t even know why I have to clarify this, but today, I just feel incredibly frustrated.
Sublime‘s decisive legal action underscores their dedication to protecting Seo Ye Ji from harmful online activity and misinformation. The indictment of the former staff member signifies a step forward in holding those responsible for online defamation accountable.
