Source Music issued an official statement through the fan community platform Weverse on June 29, 2026, affirming its commitment to protecting the rights and safety of LE SSERAFIM members. This statement came in response to the increasing number of deepfake and cyberslander cases targeting the group.
In its statement, the agency stated, “We will utilize all available civil and criminal legal measures against any actions that violate our artists’ rights, with no tolerance.” With this statement, Source Music demonstrates its seriousness in handling issues that could harm LE SSERAFIM’s image and reputation.
Deepfake and cyber libel cases are a serious and increasingly prevalent problem in the entertainment industry, especially among young artists. With their increasing fame, LE SSERAFIM, consisting of several talented members, has become a vulnerable target.
Therefore, Source Music's decisive action is expected to provide better protection for its artists. LE SSERAFIM's fans, known as DIVE, naturally support this action. They hope the agency will consistently protect the group members' rights and dignity, and create a safe environment for them to be creative.
In today's digital age, maintaining a good online reputation is increasingly important, and fan support is crucial in this effort. Source Music also emphasized that they will not hesitate to take legal action against any violators.
"We will cooperate with the authorities to ensure that appropriate legal action is taken against any violations," they added. This statement brings hope to fans and artists in the South Korean entertainment industry that there are real efforts being made to combat the threats that arise with technological advancements.
Given the current trend, many K-Pop fans are realizing the importance of protecting their artists' security and privacy. With Source Music's legal action, it is hoped that there will be greater public awareness of the negative impacts of deepfakes and cyber libel, as well as the need for stronger legal protections for artists.
Over time, it is hoped that the entertainment industry can create a safer and more comfortable environment for artists and fans. The steps taken by Source Music can serve as an example for other agencies facing similar challenges in the future.
