On June 17(KST), Pledis released an official statement via Seventeen’s social media channels, updating fans on the ongoing legal procedures regarding defamatory posts, false information, and personal attacks targeting the group.
According to the statement, several individuals have already been identified and reported to the prosecution, with some cases awaiting final judgment. The agency has cooperated closely with investigations and is actively presenting evidence of harm in ongoing cases.
