Currently, baseless rumors about Johnny and Haechan about prostitution, drugs and other shocking contents that are difficult to say out loud are being spread and reproduced indiscriminately online. Upon verification, these rumors are completely false and are criminal acts that seriously defame the character of our artists.
Furthermore, false and unsubstantiated rumors and malicious defamation relating to these [rumores] continue to be produced not only about NCT, but also other artists from our agency, including Kim Heechul [do Super Junior].
We have already gathered a lot of evidence on many posts related to this and we are not going to sit back and watch. Regardless of nationality, we intend to guarantee that the perpetrators of these acts will be punished legally, without agreements or leniency.
We hope you are aware that all acts of posting malicious content, even at this time, may be grounds for legal punishment.
Thanks”.
