We will also carry out civil and criminal penalties for violations of the special law on sexual harassment through our legal representatives.

Nancy is currently suffering a lot. We hope there will be no longer artists that will be harmed with malicious postings.

We will continue to make every effort to protect our artists through continuous monitoring and to take strong legal actions without any leniency and agreement."
