NewJeans' request represents the K-Pop industry's ongoing endeavours to combat rumours spreading on various social media platforms.
The K-Pop sensation NewJeans is currently embroiled in a legal battle against defamation. In their pursuit of justice, the group has taken legal action by filing a motion in federal court in California to reveal the identity of the anonymous individual responsible for spreading defamatory content on YouTube.
As per a New York Times report, the girl group바카라s agency, ADOR, has initiated legal proceedings by seeking aid from a U.S federal court to uncover the identity of a YouTube user accused of disseminating defamatory content about them. In a recent court submission in California, the group asserted that a YouTube account named @Middle7 had circulated harmful remarks about them. Notably, the videos have garnered millions of views.
According to the band바카라s lawyer, Eugene Kim, the videos not only contained derogatory remarks but also resorted to 바카라name-calling and mocking behaviour바카라 directed at NewJeans, causing significant reputational harm and mental strain.
Should the court order be granted, the 바카라Hype Boy바카라 crooners will be able to pursue legal recourse against the YouTube user in their home country of South Korea, where defamation is considered to be a serious criminal offence. Meanwhile, ADOR has affirmed its dedication to protecting their rights.
Following the news of defamation, @Middle7 responded with a rather sarcastic video on April 11, posting a video titled, 바카라Middle7바카라s apology after being sued by NewJeans.바카라 In the video, the masked YouTuber explained, 바카라So NewJeans바카라 label sued me... I woke up and what바카라s going on? But what바카라s a relief is that I didn바카라t apply for revenue generation. lol. But I바카라m still human so I바카라m scared and nervous. At first, I wasn바카라t interested in idols at all but I바카라ve come this far after posting videos for fun. Sigh... I didn바카라t want to get this famous... I바카라ll omit the apology since Minji already wrote one...바카라 Taking to the comment section, Middle7 pinned their own comment, 바카라So scared ㅠㅠ바카라 in a sarcastic tone. The video has now been taken down by YouTube.
