NCT Fandom Holds Truck Protest In Front Of SM’s Office Building

Below is the full statement:

“Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

Currently, shocking and provocative rumors about Johnny and Haechan involving prostitution and drugs are being recklessly spread and reproduced online. Upon verification, these rumors are completely untrue and constitute a criminal act that severely damages the artists’ reputations.

Furthermore, unfounded rumors and malicious slander targeting our artists, including NCT and Kim Hee-chul, continue to spread indiscriminately.

We have already gathered sufficient evidence on numerous posts related to these matters. We will take legal action against the perpetrators without leniency or settlement, regardless of their nationality.

Please be aware that any act of posting malicious content even at this moment can be subject to legal punishment.

Thank you.”

Currently, NCT fandom is holding a truck protest in front of SM’s office building with contents like “SM is also a perpetrator for neglecting malicious rumors against NCT for years and allowing greater harm. Proceed with lawsuits without leniency and make public announcements“, “Improve artist protection, proceed with lawsuits without leniency, provide prompt and accurate follow-up announcements“, “Worsening malicious rumors about NCT, hollow promises from KWANGYA 119. When will artist protection happen? No vague answers needed, inform us of specific progress“…

The theqoo post regarding this became a hot topic with over 35,000 views as of the morning of June 5th. Below are some comments from Korean netizens.

– Fans’ reactions are faster than SM’s.

– Let’s definitely proceed with lawsuits to the end.

– They don’t even give such notices for female idols. SM doesn’t care about artist protection at all.

– Truck protests seem to be trending these days.

– Only the fans are getting hurt…

– Please protect the artists. I really hope they proceed with mass lawsuits without leniency this time. I hope the legal team works hard.
