[theqoo] INFORMATION ON THE PROGRESS OF LEGAL ACTION AGAINST AFFILIATED ARTISTS + KANG DANIEL AND SOJANG'S DECISION TO APPEAL

Hello, this is ARA.

We, along with our affiliated artist and Law Firm LIU, have decided to file an appeal in the civil lawsuit related to the YouTube channel "Sojang."

On November 27, the Seoul Central District Court, Civil Division 29, ordered the defendant, A, the operator of Sojang, to pay damages amounting to 30 million KRW. The court acknowledged all charges, including the publication of false and provocative videos and the severe defamation of our artist’s reputation.

However, considering the gravity of the defendant’s illegal actions, the methods employed, and the prolonged exposure that caused significant mental anguish to our artist, we believe the ruling is unacceptably lenient. False information spreads easily, but correcting these lies inflicts immense pain and leaves lasting scars. After careful deliberation, and sharing the same concerns about the undue leniency of the criminal trial, we have decided to file an appeal.

We firmly believe that harsher penalties are essential for those who exploit others’ suffering for financial gain and parasitize society without remorse. This is particularly crucial as victims face immense pressure from the early stages of litigation and endure a long and challenging battle. We sincerely hope the appeals trial will deliver a just and stringent judgment that reflects the severity of the crime.

Additionally, ARA continues to gather evidence of illegal activities through internal monitoring and fan-submitted materials. We assure you that we will take strong legal action against anyone who indiscriminately spreads false information, engages in defamation, or launches baseless attacks on our artists.

We remain fully committed to protecting the rights of our artists and fans.

Thank you.
