"In particular, we would like to remind you once again that impersonating an acquaintance on social media to write false information that undermines the personality and reputation of an artist, and to reproduce these false facts maliciously and indiscriminately disseminate them," they added.
In addition, the agency warned, "We are taking legal action as soon as the damage is confirmed in all illegal activities, including the above, and will continue to respond strongly without agreement and leniency."
Meanwhile, Seunghan, who returned after suspending his activities due to controversy over his privacy, eventually withdrew from RIIZE.
