ASND, the agency of Red Velvet’s Wendy, has warned that it will take strong legal measures against malicious posts and sexual harassment. On the 19th, ASND posted a statement through its official social media to protect the rights of its artists. The agency began by saying, “Through our previous notice, we informed you that we planned to strictly deal with acts such as malicious slander, the spreading of false facts, defamation, and sexual harassment targeting our artists.” It continued, “Nevertheless, up to now, malicious evaluations targeting the artist’s appearance and body, as well as sexual-harassment-type posts and comments including sexual objectification, are still being continuously confirmed,” emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. In particular, the agency stated, “Any act that infringes on the artist’s personality and rights, such as identifying the artist’s body and making sexual remarks or evaluations, mocking or belittling the appearance or body, or maliciously spreading content that differs from the facts, is clear defamation that cannot be regarded as mere opinion or freedom of expression.” Furthermore, it said, “Including the posts and comments currently being confirmed, we will continuously collect evidence materials regarding malicious posts that are confirmed in the future as well, and we will actively respond regardless of the severity of the case,” and made clear its policy of strict punishment, saying, “In order to protect the personality and rights of our artists, we will continue to monitor malicious acts and respond strongly through the necessary legal procedures.” • Red Velvet’s Wendy reveals a recent photo... fans express concern over her thinner appearance • 2PM’s Jun.
