HeeChul of K-pop boy group Super Junior applauded singer-songwriter IU on her actions against malicious comments.
On February 26 episode of KBS' 'Six-party Talks', the cast members had a discussion on fake news and malicious comments.
During the talk, TV personality Jang Dong Min brought up his own experience.
He shared, "A person said that he/she won't stop (leaving malicious comments) until me and my parents take our own lives. But police said they can't arrest the person because he/she had an overseas IP address."
Then HeeChul mentioned IU's case and talked about how she always takes strong legal action with no leniency against the ones who spark rumors or write malicious things about her.
HeeChul explained, "That's why I look up to IU. She is an idol and also an artist, you know."
He continued, "She can't help but to be conscious of others, but she always takes strong legal action. I think that is how it should be."
Back in January, IU has announced her intention to take legal action against online rumors about her seeing profits by real estate speculation.
