Zico To Take Legal Action Against Rumors He Robbed Hara's Safe

Zico announced a legal response policy to malicious rumors.

In SBS's "Unanswered Questions," which aired on the 22nd, the montage of the criminal who stole Gu Hara's safe was released for the first time in four years, and malicious rumors spread that Zico was the culprit, and the agency announced a strong response policy.

The rumors started when "Unanswered Questions" posted the photo of the person down below who stole the safe and some netizens said he looked like Zico.



KOZ Entertainment said on the 24th, "We have confirmed that malicious posts and comments such as defamation, insults, and spreading false information have been indiscriminately written in various online communities and SNS." "We have filed a complaint with the investigative agency by collecting posts and comments from various online communities and SNS, and we will continue to collect malicious posts and receive complaints regularly in the future."

The following is the full text of the agency's position:

The company has recently confirmed that malicious posts and comments such as defamation, insults, and spreading false information have been indiscriminately written on various online communities and SNS about its artist Zico.

In particular, we judged that strong legal action was urgently needed as malicious rumors and false information dissemination, which were clearly not related to artists, were becoming more serious to an extent that could not be overlooked.

Accordingly, we submitted a complaint to the investigative agency by collecting posts and comments from various online communities and SNS, and we will continue to collect malicious posts and receive complaints regularly in the future. In addition, we would like to clarify that the recent rumors about artists are also not true, and we would like to say that we will respond strongly to them.

In order to protect artists' rights and interests, we will continue to take stern measures against malicious writers based on fan reports and evidence collected through self-monitoring, and will hold them accountable until the end, even if it takes time. There is no agreement with the leniency in any case.

Fans' interest and reports in legal action are very helpful. If you find malicious posts or illegal cases related to artists, please actively report them to KOZ Entertainment's official account for legal action.
