JYP Entertainment threatens legal action against malicious Twitter account harassing Sohee

JYP Entertainment has revealed that they will be taking legal action against a Twitter account sending malicious tweets to the Wonder Girls‘ Sohee.

Officials took notice of an account that has been sexually harassing Sohee through mentions. Although they repeatedly warned the account to stop, the tweets only got worse, forcing the company to step in and put an end to it.

On April 8th, JYP Entertainment’s official Twitter wrote, “After spreading malicious and false tweets intended to defame Ahn Sohee, we asked that the account either edit or delete the tweets as per our request. Instead of taking the appropriate actions, however, the account raised the level of hatred and continued to defame Ahn Sohee. Therefore, we are warning the account that if all tweets regarding Ahn Sohee are not deleted by noon of April 9th, we will be filing a report to the Kangnam police for a cyber crime investigation.

Unfortunately, the account is not heeding the warnings, instead tweeting, “Catch me if you can. I’m not deleting anything. Why are you threatening me with conditions?

Officials of JYP Entertainment further commented, “After discussing the issue with our company’s legal team, we have decided that legal action is required. We will be filing a report should the account not delete the tweets by the specified time.
