On the 28th, Ansom's agency Modenberry Korea stated, “We will take legal action against the YouTube channel Gaseyeon, which claimed false information that Ansom and CEO Kim Kwang-soo were dating.”
Modenberry Korea explained, “Gaseyeon conducted a broadcast with the intent to spread false information that Ansom and Kim Kwang-soo of Pocketdol Studio were in a relationship. This is a clear case of defamation, and we have decided to take legal action to protect our artist.”
They added, “We will not tolerate the spread of baseless rumors and reckless speculation about our artist,” and stated, “We are already in the process of securing relevant materials through our legal representative and will respond firmly under a zero-tolerance policy.”
Meanwhile, Ansom joined DIA in 2017 but transitioned to being a BJ after leaving the group.
<Below is the full official statement from Ansom's agency Modenberry Korea>
Hello, this is Modenberry Korea.
We would like to convey our official position regarding malicious comments, the spread of false information, personal attacks, and defamation against our artist Ansom.
We have continuously confirmed the ongoing spread of baseless false information and malicious comments directed at artist Ansom on online platforms and social media. We have closely reviewed the circumstances surrounding this and have decided to take legal action to protect the rights of our artist.
Additionally, the claim that Ansom and CEO Kim Kwang-soo of Pocketdol Studio were dating, made in the video titled <[Shocking Exclusive] A Battle for One Man Among Members of Girl Group ‘DIA’> posted on the Gaseyeon YouTube channel on March 2, 2024, is clearly false, and we plan to take legal action regarding this matter.
In the future, we will take strong legal action against all malicious acts without any leniency, and we will continue to monitor for additional legal responses. Engaging in the creation, distribution, and spread of malicious posts against our artist is a clear criminal act, and we will continuously collect evidence related to this to take strong measures, including criminal complaints and civil damages.
We promise to always strive for a healthy fan culture and the protection of our artist, and we ask for your continued interest and support.
Thank you.
