KANG DANIEL‘s agency, KONNECT Entertainment, reported on 24 December that they would inform fans on 24 February of the legal response to the “malicious messages such as spreading false facts, sexual harassment, defamation, personal attacks and invasion of privacy.” of their artists; and they kept their promise.
Indeed, last year, the agency of solo artist KANG DANIEL had taken legal action against the heinous comments, violation of privacy etc. that DANIEL had suffered. The latter were notably due to the official announcement that KANG DANIEL and JIHYO (TWICE) were dating.
“The first investigation in September last year was dismissed as a legal “penalty prosecution”, and the second examination in December closed the complaint and is currently under investigation. We will share the progress of the investigation with you later.” Informed KONNECT Entertainment.
After taking legal action against defamation and false statements against KANG DANIEL, the agency published an official position on the progress of the case.
“Hello, this is KONNECT Entertainment,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the fans who have given so much interest and love to KANG DANIEL, a member of KONNECT Entertainment.
We will inform you of the progress that has been made on February 24th regarding the legal response to malicious messages such as spreading false facts, sexual harassment, defamation, personal attacks and intrusion of privacy.
In September, the first screening process was completed in the form of a “short penalty form” and the second case in December was closed on the basis of the complainant’s statement. The progress of the investigation will be shared again at a later stage.
We will not terminate all civil and criminal actions such as regular criminal complaints and civil damage claims for the usual malicious messages intended to slander our artists and fans.
Thank you. “
KANG DANIEL‘s agency therefore does not seem to accept any tolerance towards acts that would have a malicious intent against the artists of their agency.
