ZEROBASEONE, the rising boy group with members Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin, is taking a firm stand against malicious posts and privacy violations.

On August 20th, their agency WAKEONE issued a statement via their official social media, declaring, "If any illegal posts or acts targeting our artists are found, we will use all legal means, both domestically and internationally, to ensure the offenders face justice."

WAKEONE revealed that they have been closely monitoring all platforms, including YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and online communities, in collaboration with Korean law firm Sejong and U.S. legal experts. They have gathered substantial evidence to support legal action against those responsible for harmful posts and illegal activities related to ZEROBASEONE.

The agency also mentioned that they have filed police reports with the collected evidence against individuals who have attempted to contact the members directly or trespassed into their residences using illegally obtained personal information. These actions have endangered the safety and privacy of the artists. Some cases have already been investigated, and legal penalties have been imposed.

WAKEONE made it clear that they are committed to protecting their artists’ rights, honor, and privacy. They stressed, "We will continue our monitoring efforts and make sure that no illegal activity goes unpunished. There will be no leniency or settlements under any circumstances."

Meanwhile, fans can look forward to ZEROBASEONE’s upcoming release, their fourth mini-album Cinema Paradiso, dropping on the 26th.

Actor Jung Hae In is finding himself in a very awkward situation over his social media following, and even his good friend Lee Jong Suk has shared his thoughts on the matter!

Recently, Jung Hae In's personal social media account has been flooded with requests from fans to unfollow actor Kim Soo Hyun, who is facing serious personal issues and a legal dispute.

This controversy started after Kim Soo Hyun was edited out of the MBC variety show Good Day, and the public began questioning whether continuing to follow him on social media was a sign of support.

The situation became more complicated when fellow "88s" group member Im Si Wan unfollowed everyone on his list except his agency.

Fans quickly pressured Jung Hae In to do the same, but many felt this demand was unfair.

What really made headlines, though, was Lee Jong Suk’s unexpected reaction to the whole situation. Lee Jong Suk, who is close to Jung Hae In, seemed taken aback by the pressure his friend was under.

He was quoted saying, “It’s just a follow. People need to stop overreacting. Jung Hae In is his own person, and his choices should be respected.” His words have left fans in shock, especially since Lee Jong Suk is usually more private.

While Jung Hae In has done nothing wrong, he’s now caught in the middle of a social media frenzy. Should he unfollow Kim Soo Hyun just to please the public, or should he stand his ground and stay true to his friendships?

Fans are eagerly waiting to see how he will handle this situation, especially with Lee Jong Suk’s support behind him.
