#NCT Taeyong, SM entertainment gives a statement about his junior high school bullying rumor. The following is the full translation.



Hi, this is SM Entertainment.



We would like to use the position of our company regarding the content related to Taeyeon, an artist who has been circulating online recently.



Related to Taeyeon's junior high school behavior, the person who posted the sentence online revealed himself as an "informant" for the victim, and made unconfirmed unilateral claims and distorted content. It has been posted continuously.



Taeyeon once apologized to the victim and compensated for the mistakes that he made when he was a child.



Nonetheless, the "informer" continued to make unilateral allegations against Taeyeon, based on distorted and exaggerated content.



We were aware of this, but the information provider is Taeyeon's former classmate, and there is a concern that friends and people related to Taeyeon in middle school may be a affected.



However, the distorted claims continued to spread, causing serious damage such as invasion of privacy, blasphemy, and defamation not only to Taeyeon but also Taeyeon's family, and to protect the artist, we can't show any more forgiveness.



If you continue to post malicious texts related to Taeyeon here, we will not sit down anymore and will take a strong legal action.



In addition, to prevent further damage, such as hoaxes, dissemination, posting of malicious comments, privacy invasion, etc. to victims, informants, and all people related to Taeyeon's middle school, we sincerely ask you to stop illegal activities.



In addition to this case, we will continue to strengthen the monitoring and legal measures that we have continued to protect the artists who belong to us, and continue to legally respond to various illegal acts. I will inform you about it. Thank you very much.
