STARSHIP Entertainment has sent a clear, unyielding message: they are taking aggressive legal action against over 100 online accounts for severe harassment targeting their beloved girl group, IVE. The agency confirmed today that it has filed criminal complaints against malicious offenders across multiple platforms, reaffirming a strict zero-tolerance policy against defamation and harmful content.
In a powerful statement, Starship Entertainment detailed the nature of the offenses, which include defamation, the spread of false information, sexual harassment, personal attacks, insults, and invasion of privacy. “Such acts are clearly unlawful and cannot be justified under any circumstances,” the agency declared, stressing that “there will be no leniency or settlements in these cases.”
The comprehensive legal offensive targets accounts identified through both dedicated fan reports and Starship’s continuous internal monitoring. Specific platforms where criminal complaints have been filed include:
- DC Inside (68 accounts, including “과속라,” “Ido*,” “소극왕웨”)
- X (formerly Twitter) (16 accounts, including “Haju_i*****,” “Hajako******”)
- YouTube (6 accounts, including “Coldanaly*******-2”)
- Facebook (4 accounts, including “Nan P**,” “Whatever******er”)
- Naver Blog (4 accounts, including “루미나코”)
- Instagram (5 accounts, including “Greenam”)
Starship emphasized that all relevant evidence has been meticulously secured, warning that attempts to delete posts, change account information, switch to private, or deactivate accounts will not exempt individuals from legal responsibility. The agency highlighted its unwavering commitment to protecting the rights, reputation, and dignity of IVE members ANYUJIN, GAEUL, REI, JANGWONYOUNG, LIZ, and LEESEO.
Fans are highly encouraged to continue their invaluable support by reporting malicious posts or evidence to starship_ent@daum.net. All submissions are reviewed confidentially and may be forwarded to investigative authorities, further empowering Starship’s ongoing efforts. This decisive action underscores Starship Entertainment’s steadfast resolve to create a safe online environment for their artists.
