Starship Entertainment vows strong legal action against malicious posts targeting IVE

Starship Entertainment has once again announced a firm legal response against malicious online posts targeting IVE.

On May 11 KST, the agency released an official statement through its social media channels, saying it is continuously pursuing legal action against individuals responsible for spreading false information, defamation, sexual harassment, personal attacks, insults, and privacy violations involving IVE members.

The agency emphasized that such actions are “clear illegal acts that can never be tolerated,” adding that they “cannot be justified under any circumstances.”

Starship further stated that it plans to hold offenders accountable “to the very end” using every legal measure permitted under the law, without leniency or exceptions.

According to the company, lawsuits have already been filed against users on multiple online platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), DC Inside, Naver, Daum Cafe, Nate Pann, Instiz, TheQoo, FMKorea, Women’s Generation, malicious comment archive sites, and YouTube.

The agency explained that evidence has been secured through both fan reports and internal monitoring efforts, noting that records were preserved based on the original posting time regardless of whether users later changed their IDs or deleted their accounts.

Starship also revealed that it is gathering evidence related to the creation and distribution of malicious rumors, false information, sexually humiliating posts, and manipulated content such as deepfakes.

The company concluded by stating it will continue pursuing strict criminal complaints and civil lawsuits against offenders moving forward.
