Wake One, a K-pop entertainment company, announced on the 20th through its official SNS that it is taking legal action against malicious rumors and personal attacks directed at its artists. The agency stated that baseless rumors and indiscriminate defamation targeting ZeroBaseOne and ALPHA DRIVE ONE continue to spread across domestic and international online communities and social media platforms. The company emphasized that insulting posts including appearance mockery, harassment, defamation, and false information are causing deep emotional wounds not only to the artists but also to their loyal fans. Wake One has appointed the law firm Sejong to proceed with legal procedures to protect the dignity and reputation of its artists, which it considers the most important responsibility of the agency. The company strongly requested the cessation of sharing unverified information, speculative content, baseless criticism, and personal information exposure, and pledged to continue consistent and responsible responses going forward.
