We would like to declare our viewpoint regarding the music video for Choi Yena's newest title track 'Hate Rodrigo.'
On June 29, the company had found out that some of the scenes in 'Hate Rodrigo' music video may have caused concerns on trademark infringement, portrait rights violation, and copyright, which all led the music video to be made private.

Moreover, we would like to clarify that the claims of Olivia Rodrigo's side requesting the music video's removal are completely false.
We have never received any kind of request from Olivia Rodrigo's team, and we wish that no confusions will occur again because of invalid reports. We would also like to remind everyone that such speculations won't be spread in the future.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who support and love Choi Yena's new album. We will produce better music to repay your kindness and are always open for your honest feedback.
Thank you."
