Singer Choi Ye-na from IZ*ONE has been left in distress over malicious rumors.
Earlier, SBS '8 News' reported that he had exchanged private conversations with Celebrity A, a Singer, while reporting various suspicions about Lee, a former affiliate of CJ Group and a representative of the current investment company.
According to reports, Lee asked the representative of CJ affiliates to take care of Mr. A, and Mr. A made a fixed appearance in the CJ affiliate program.
As the report was reported, there was a lot of speculation about A online. Among them, the netizens pointed out A as Choi Ye-na, and the unfounded malicious rumors that "Conglomerate president looked after him" spread rapidly.
Choi Ye-na and his agency immediately refuted. Choi Ye-na said on the 6th, "I was so embarrassed and embarrassed to watch all the situations that my name was three letters in the work that was not entirely unrelated and had no one-sidedness at all and spread quickly as if it were true."
"Why do you have to go through this nonsense? And I think there are many people who believe so now, so I am still so angry and upset. "He repeatedly voiced," I have nothing to do with me. "
"We recently recognized that malicious rumors about our artist Choi Ye-na are being circulated indiscriminately in the online community and SNS," said Choi Ye-na. "I clearly say that it is not related to the rumor. I want to respond to the evil people who have caused mental pain and damage to Choi Ye-na, who is now dreaming at the age of early 20s. "
In addition, the agency added, "We will strongly take legal action against malicious posts, slander and dissemination to protect the rights of The Artist."
Earlier, the agency said on January 1, "We will take legal action against malicious posts to protect the rights of our artist, and we will respond strongly without any preemption or agreement in this process."
Meanwhile, Choi Ye-na made her debut as a project group IZ*ONE after announcing her face through Ment 'Produce 48' in 2018.
