◆ The following is the full text of Nam Joo-hyuk’s agency, Management Soop
hello. management forest
Here is the official position regarding the article about actor Nam Joo-hyuk.
First of all, we ask for your understanding for the delay in expressing our position to confirm the facts. As a result of confirming the facts with the actor regarding the first news article, it was confirmed that all of the contents were not true at all. Also, we are sorry for the unilateral report by the media that did not even check the facts with the agency or the actors until this article was published.
We plan to promptly file an application for correction information to the Media Arbitration Committee against the media in question, taking responsibility for seriously damaging the actor’s reputation due to this false report. We will also file criminal charges against the media reporter who made the initial report and the anonymous informant. In order to proceed with these legal actions, we have requested a case from our legal advisors today, and we are currently working on it.
Actors and their families suffer the most from vague, vague, gossip rumors that are reckless and have not been confirmed at all. Regarding the current situation in which the scarlet letter stigma is engraved even if the agency or the actor reveals the official position that the agency or the actor reveals the official position that it is unfounded about the excessively ‘or not’ type of articles that rely only on baseless online rumors and without any confirmation of the facts. There is really no way to hide my tragic and sad heart.
After this time, the agency will take strict legal responsibility for all acts of posting unilateral claims online (SNS, YouTube) without a clear fact-checking process. In addition, we will take strong measures with no lenient punishment for malicious extended interpretations, acts that encourage such interpretation, or malicious posts and comments that go beyond simple expression of opinions. Data already collected through monitoring will also be subject to legal action.
In this regard, I earnestly ask you to refrain from spreading any more groundless rumors or speculative reports. In the future, we will take strict measures from various angles through continuous monitoring.
thank you
