Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

There continues to be false misinformation about RIIZE members, as well as malicious comments that attack, insult, and harass the members.

All the actions listed above are defamatory and are crimes. We are currently aware of these crimes and are collecting evidence, and will press charges so that these criminals are punished by law. We will not forgive and will not pursue the furthest extent of the law.

What’s more, there continue to be crimes against the artists and their acquaintances, including stalking, cursing, and sexual harassment.

We ask that you are aware that these actions are also crimes puninshable by law, and hope that you do not participate in these crimes.

We would like to thank all of those who love RIIZE. We will continue to do our best to protect our artists.
