Kang Daniel’s Agency Updates On Legal Action Taken On Behalf Of Artist

Apr 17, 2023

Kang Daniel’s agency has announced they will continue to take legal action against the infringement of the artist’s rights.

On April 17, KONNECT Entertainment shared the following statement on social media:

"Hello, this is KONNECT Entertainment.

We always deeply thank fans for the warm interest and love sent to our agency artist.

For a long time, we have been taking strict measures against false rumors, insults, and defamation regarding our artist.

Recently, using tips from fans and the evidence our legal team collected from monitoring, we filed a number of complaints to investigation agencies.

Related to this, the suspect received judicial disposition last month. It was a charge of defaming an artist by continuously spreading false information, and they were eventually found guilty of defamation.

In the case of defamation, according to Article 311 of the penal code, the punishment is imprisonment for up to a year, or a fine of up to 2 million won (approximately $1,517). Once again, we reiterate that mindless spread of false information, malicious distortions, posts with defamatory purposes, etc., are clear criminal acts that damage an individual’s character and honor, and causes mental suffering.

We promise to take all necessary legal procedures for stronger and stricter criminal punishment of criminal acts. We reiterate that unless mindless attacks on our artist do not stop, we will not stop responding with strong legal action.

In the future too, we ask for fans’ continued tips through KONNECT’s account ([email protected]) and for your interest and support.

KONNECT Entertainment will work endlessly to protect the rights of our artist.

Thank you."
