Actor Song Hye-kyo sued the netizens who wrote and distributed false facts about his divorce.
“We filed a complaint with the police station in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province on the 25th against a number of people who were clearly accused of defamation and insults when they were false,” said Song Hye-kyo’s agency, UAA.
The netizens who have completed the collection of evidence on malicious acts related to Song Hye-kyo, dissemination of false facts, blatant slander and profanity are the subject of the complaint. “We will also file criminal charges against all of the rest of the community, comments, and YouTubers as soon as evidence is available,” the agency said.
“We have appointed Kim & Chang as our legal representative on June 28 and have been preparing for legal action,” he warned, “and we will respond hard without any prior arrangements or agreements.”
Song Hye-kyo has been suffering from various rumors since the end of last month when the news of his divorce with Song Joong-ki was announced. When Song Joong-ki filed for divorce mediation against Song Hye-kyo, speculative Jirashi around their divorce background was poured out.
“The act of falsifying and spreading false articles, malicious profanity, and things that can not be imagined is continuing,” the agency said. It is not only beyond the level of social acceptance, but it also gives the party unbearable pain. "
“We will continue to strongly respond to the act of misusing anonymity in the future to produce rumors and spread them indiscriminately, and we hope that this will prevent further hurting and suffering to people by writing,” he added.
Song Joong-ki also said that "the spread of false facts is an obvious criminal act," and that he will respond to the cases of damage without any preemption or agreement.
Meanwhile, when the Seoul Family Court established a divorce settlement between the two on the 22nd, Song Hye-kyo and Song Joong-ki became legally South and South. They married in October 2017 after joining the KBS2 drama The Sun's Descendants, but they walked their own path in a year and nine months.
