BELIFT LAB said an impostor harassed ENHYPEN’s Jay, recorded calls without permission, and spread them, leading to a criminal complaint.

While Jay, a member of the group ENHYPEN, recently suffered a serious privacy violation from a person claiming to be a service center employee, his agency chose to file a criminal complaint. On the 3rd, the agency BELIFT LAB posted a notice on the fan community platform Weverse titled, “Notice Regarding Strong Measures Against Leakage of Artists’ Personal Information and Stalking.” That day, the agency said, “We have confirmed that there was a serious privacy violation and stalking against ENHYPEN member Jay recently,” and referred to the situation, saying, “The person in question attempted several times to call the artist’s private contact number from this June.” It continued, “During the first call, the person approached by pretending to be an employee of an internet and TV installation service center, mentioning the artist’s family and disguising the approach as a product introduction. In this process, the person asked for a time when a return call would be possible, left a personal contact number, and tried to deceive the artist with false facts and obtain additional information. As a result of the artist directly checking with his family, it was found that the person’s claims were false.” In response, Jay maintained no response, but the contact continued. The agency said, “Furthermore, the person secretly recorded the call contents and distributed them on many platforms such as KakaoTalk, Instagram, and X Spaces,” and explained, “Even after the person’s actions became known to the public, the person consistently made excuses such as ‘it was an official business call’ and ‘I was hacked,’ and is avoiding responsibility by deleting accounts.” In the end, the agency chose legal action. BELIFT LAB said, “We judged the intentionality and malicious nature of the act to be severe, including the fact that the repeated contact caused the artist mental distress and anxiety, that the artist was lured by false facts, and that the call contents were secretly recorded and distributed without permission, and we filed a criminal complaint against the person in question.” In particular, the agency said, “In addition, we sent official documents to three telecommunications companies and requested cooperation to confirm the identity of the person in question,” and emphasized, “BELIFT LAB makes clear that it will respond strongly under a zero-tolerance principle, without any settlement or compromise, to stalking and illegal leakage of personal information that violate the artist’s privacy and threaten the safety of his person.” ・ENHYPEN’s Ni-ki and Jay decide on their first special program together!

We have recently confirmed that there was a serious privacy violation and stalking against ENHYPEN member Jay. We would like to inform you of BELIFT LAB’s position and response regarding this. 1. Course of the incident and damage facts The problematic actor (hereinafter “the actor”) attempted several times to call the artist’s private contact number from this June. During the first call, the person claimed to be an employee of an internet and TV installation service center, mentioned the artist’s family, and approached under the guise of a product introduction. In this process, the person asked for a time when a return call would be possible, left a personal contact number, and tried to deceive the artist with false facts and obtain additional information. As a result of the artist directly checking with his family, it was found that the person’s claims were false. After that, despite the artist’s nonresponse, the person repeatedly attempted additional contact several times and continued the harassment. Furthermore, the person secretly recorded the call contents and distributed them on many platforms such as KakaoTalk, Instagram, and X Spaces. Even after the person’s actions became known to the public, the person consistently made excuses such as “it was an official business call” and “I was hacked,” and is avoiding responsibility by deleting accounts. We recognize this matter as a serious situation in which there is concern not only about the artist’s privacy being violated, but also about additional damage from the leakage of personal information. 2. Response status and plan We judged the intentionality and malicious nature of the act to be severe, including the fact that the repeated contact caused the artist mental distress and anxiety, that the artist was lured by false facts, and that the call contents were secretly recorded and distributed without permission, and we filed a criminal complaint against the person in question. In addition, we sent official documents to three telecommunications companies and requested cooperation to confirm the identity of the person in question. In the process of proceeding with this complaint, the information provided by fans was a great help. We deeply thank the fans who worked hard to protect the artist. The information received on our artist rights protection page is constantly being reviewed by the relevant departments, so we ask for your continued active information sharing. BELIFT LAB makes clear that it will respond strongly under a zero-tolerance principle, without any settlement or compromise, to stalking and illegal leakage of personal information that violate the artist’s privacy and threaten the safety of his person. Thank you. [Full official comment from BELIFT LAB] Hello. This is BELIFT LAB. We have recently confirmed that there was a serious privacy violation and stalking against ENHYPEN member Jay.
