SM Entertainment Denies False Rumors About NCT's Haechan and Johnny, Vows Legal Action
SM Entertainment firmly denied recent rumors about NCT members Haechan and Johnny. The rumors alleged that the two idols were involved in inappropriate activities with sex workers in Japan. SM Entertainment stated that these accusations are completely false and defamatory, and they will take legal action against anyone who spreads them.
SM Entertainment’s full statement is as follows:
Hello. This is SM Entertainment.
At present, groundless rumors about Johnny and Haechan regarding prostitution, drugs, and other shocking content that is difficult to even say out loud are currently being spread and reproduced indiscriminately online. After checking, these rumors are completely false, and they are criminal acts that severely defame our artists’ character.
Additionally, false, groundless rumors and malicious libel related to these [rumors] continue to be produced about not only NCT but other artists in our agency, including Kim Heechul.
We have already gathered plenty of evidence regarding many posts related to this, and we will not sit back and watch. Regardless of nationality, we plan to make sure that the perpetrators of these acts will be legally punished, with no settlements or leniency.
We hope that you are aware that all acts of posting malicious content, even at this moment, may be grounds for legal punishment.
Thank you.
