“Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

Not only are falsehoods about the RIIZE members being recklessly spread on social media and online communities, but illegal acts such as the creation of posts that cross the line, including attacks [on the RIIZE members’] character, insults, and malicious slander, are continually taking place.

These actions are a clear criminal act that severely defame our artist’s character and violate their rights. We are well-aware of the situation and are in the process of reviewing the material we have gathered, and we plan to take strong legal action by suing so that the perpetrators of these illegal acts will be punished, without any settlement or leniency.

Furthermore, the privacy of the people around our artists, especially their families and acquaintances, is being continuously invaded through habitual stalking, verbal abuse and swearing, sexual harassment, and more.

As these kinds of acts are also criminal behavior, we ask that you recognize clearly that legal action is possible, and we urge you to take special care not to get involved in such shameful acts.

We are always grateful to the fans who love RIIZE, and we will do our utmost to protect our artists in the future as well.

Thank you.”
