Adapting Soompi's report on Saturday August 27, 2022, ATEEZ's agency , namely KQ Entertainment, has shared an update on the legal actions taken by the agency to protect their artists from being exposed to rumors , especially from negative rumors created by the Sojang YouTube channel .
So far, the YouTube channel has really disturbed the public because it often uploads news about Korean celebrities and idols that are not true. KQ Entertainment officially filed a lawsuit against the Sojang YouTube channel on August 17, 2022, because they violated ATEEZ's privacy and violated the Information Protection Act.
All related evidence has been submitted to the court. The reason is, in October last year 2021, KQ Entertainment discovered that a location tracking device was found in the vehicle used for ATEEZ activities which was apparently installed by the owner of the Sojang YouTube channel.
In addition, YouTuber Sojang was also considered to have made a video that greatly harmed ATEEZ's good name, so KQ Entertainment was forced to take strict legal action. There will be no leniency in the future. KQ Entertainment then warned that they would not hesitate to take tougher legal action if this kind of thing continues to happen in the future.
"We will continue to protect the rights of our artists in the future," wrote KQ Entertainment on ATEEZ's official fancafe. And after more than a week of lawsuits being filed in court, recently KQ Entertainment finally shared the latest update regarding this case. Here is KQ Entertainment's full statement: Hello . This is KQ Entertainment.
As previously notified, our company has taken legal action regarding ATEEZ's privacy violation case. The defendant asked for leniency, but our company has not yet agreed to any leniency or settlement to serve as a lesson to those who consider the breach of privacy infringement belittling.
The defendant has been found guilty of violating the provisions of the Information Protection Act. We would like to inform you that the company will be filing an additional civil suit against the defendants for other offenses. In the future, please continue to refrain from trying to locate or track the artist's personal information and scheduled non-official activities.
Once again, we would like to thank the fans for your continuous love and support for our artist. Thank you." Infringement of artist's privacy lately is indeed often the case, especially now that technology has become more sophisticated. KQ Entertainment's firm action in demanding the perpetrators go to court should be imitated by other artist agencies. Agree?
