ATRP has announced that it will pursue legal action to protect its artists Chuu and OH MY GIRL’s Arin from malicious online behavior.
On November 19, the agency released an official statement warning that it plans to take strong action against individuals responsible for spreading harmful content about the two artists. According to the agency, there has recently been a noticeable rise in malicious posts and comments targeting Chuu and Arin across various online platforms.
The company stated that these posts include forms of harassment such as sexual harassment, defamation, insults, malicious slander, and the spread of false information. ATRP emphasized that such actions are not only harmful but also constitute clear violations of the law.
As a result, the agency declared that it will respond firmly by pursuing all available legal avenues. ATRP stated that it intends to take “all possible legal measures, both civil and criminal,” against those responsible for creating or distributing the malicious content. The company also made it clear that it has no intention of reaching settlements or showing leniency toward offenders.
In addition, ATRP explained that it has been actively monitoring online communities and platforms where such content may appear.
The agency said it regularly collects evidence from social media sites, online forums, and video-sharing platforms in order to document malicious posts and comments directed at its artists. These materials will be carefully reviewed in collaboration with legal professionals as the company proceeds with legal action.
ATRP further stressed that individuals attempting to remove evidence or avoid responsibility will also be pursued. The agency stated that it will thoroughly track such efforts and continue to take decisive action against anyone involved in spreading or attempting to conceal harmful content.
The company also encouraged fans and members of the public to assist by reporting malicious posts they may encounter online. ATRP explained that any relevant evidence can be sent to the agency’s designated reporting email address, where it will be reviewed and potentially used as part of the legal process.
ATRP noted that legal proceedings related to such cases can take significant time to conclude. Depending on the circumstances, a case may take several months or even more than a year before reaching a final resolution. Nevertheless, the agency reaffirmed its determination to pursue legal action in order to protect the rights and well-being of its artists.
