Wendy Warns of Strong Legal Action Against Malicious Comments and Appearance Mockery

Singer and former Red Velvet member Wendy has issued a warning through her agency that she will take strong action against malicious posts.

Wendy's agency, ASND, released an official statement on the 19th, saying, "We have previously announced that we will take strict action against malicious slander, the spread of false information, defamation, and sexual harassment targeting our artist." They added, "Despite this, we have continuously identified malicious reviews, derogatory remarks targeting the artist's appearance and body, and sexually harassing posts and comments, including sexual objectification, up until recently."

The agency emphasized, "In particular, all acts that infringe upon the artist's personality and rights—such as sexually referencing or evaluating the artist's body, mocking and degrading her appearance and body, and maliciously spreading false information—are clear acts of defamation that cannot be viewed as mere opinions or freedom of expression." They further stressed, "We will take strong action against any acts that infringe upon the rights and interests of our artist."

Online, alongside expressions of concern for her health or simple opinions about her appearance, there has indeed been a continuous influx of posts infringing upon her character through excessive malicious remarks and sexual degradation concerning her appearance.

Meanwhile, Wendy is actively engaged in her career as a singer and radio DJ.

On the 3rd, she drew attention by releasing Red Velvet's new mini-album "Velvet Summer," and on the 17th, she featured in JUN. K's digital single "Your Lips." In addition, she continues to communicate steadily with listeners and lead the program as the DJ of SBS Power FM's "Wendy's Young Street," which marked its 2nd anniversary on the 19th.
