On November 19, ATRP, the agency representing singer Chuu and Arin—who is both a member of Oh My Girl and an actress—announced their firm commitment to pursuing legal action against malicious online activity targeting their artists.

In an official statement, ATRP disclosed, “We have recently observed a significant increase in defamatory and harmful online posts directed at our artists Chuu and Arin, including sexual harassment, defamation, insults, malicious slander, and the spread of false information. We intend to respond with strong legal measures without any leniency or settlements.”

The agency explained that it continuously monitors domestic and international online communities, social media, and video platforms to collect evidence. “We are working closely with a professional law firm to take all possible civil and criminal actions against all malicious posts, comments, and any unlawful acts identified. Any attempts to delete evidence or evade responsibility will also be thoroughly tracked and dealt with strictly,” ATRP cautioned.

ATRP further appealed to the public, saying, “If you possess any materials or evidence regarding malicious posts or comments about our artists, please send them to the ATRP tip-off email. All submissions will be carefully reviewed and referenced during the legal process.”

The agency also emphasized, “While it may take several months to over a year for each case to be resolved, we reaffirm our unwavering determination to protect our artists’ rights and interests, regardless of the time required.”
