LE SSERAFIM has initiated legal action to address malicious comments and false rumors circulating on various platforms. Source Music confirmed progress in identifying offenders and filing complaints to protect the group. Fans welcomed this move, while critics expressed mixed reactions online.
Legal Action to Protect LE SSERAFIM from Malicious Posts
On the 27th, Source Music announced ongoing legal actions against defamation, insults, sexual harassment, and false rumors targeting LE SSERAFIM. According to the statement, the company conducts regular legal measures every year to safeguard the group’s rights. In the second half of this year, Source Music collected evidence of malicious posts and comments from platforms such as Nate Pann, instiz, dcinside, and international sites like Instagram and YouTube. They filed complaints with law enforcement based on this evidence.
Updates on Previous Legal Cases
The company provided updates on a large-scale complaint filed in May. Most cases resulted in the identification of suspects, with investigations transferred to local police stations. Legal actions include civil and criminal lawsuits against offenders from domestic platforms like Melon and Naver, as well as international ones such as YouTube. Source Music emphasized their determination to see these cases through without leniency, ensuring that perpetrators face appropriate consequences.
Mixed Public Reactions to Legal Response of LE SSERAFIM
The announcement sparked divided opinions on platforms like Nate Pann. Critics of LE SSERAFIM, often fans of competing groups like NewJeans, mocked the group, questioning their vocal abilities despite their success in international charts and awards. A highly liked comment suggested they should focus on improving their singing skills.
On the other hand, LE SSERAFIM fans welcomed the legal actions. They expressed satisfaction in seeing malicious commenters face justice and joked about the offenders meeting at police stations. Fans encouraged a kinder approach to life, adding humor to the serious situation.
Legal Action Brings Consequences for Malicious Commenters
Although the initial complaints were filed seven months ago, the process has only reached the stage of identifying suspects. Local police stations will now summon offenders for questioning. These individuals will face the reality of their actions through legal investigations, court appearances, and potential penalties. The development marks a significant step in addressing cyberbullying and fostering accountability.

Thank you so much for reading this post! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to share them in the comments!
I can’t believe people are sending hate to Le Sserafim. I heard some Koreans are hating on Sakura and Kazuha just because they’re Japanese. Anti-Japanese sentiment is seriously a mental illness.
