KONNECT Entertainment shared new plans to further protect Kang Daniel against malicious comments and postings.

On April 1, the agency released the following statement:

Hello, this is KONNECT Entertainment.

Thank you very much for your support and love for our artist Kang Daniel.

Last year, we took legal action on two occasions against false rumors, sexual harassment, defamation, attacks, privacy infringement, etc., which inflicted mental damage not only on our artist Kang Daniel but also on his fans and family.

Starting today (April 1, 2020), KONNECT Entertainment will make up for the shortcomings of the current legal team by partnering up with LIWU Law Group’s new “Clean Internet Center.” We will strengthen our online monitoring to 24 hours and utilize a more professional and systematic manner to combat against malicious postings.

LIWU Law Group’s “Clean Internet Center” will be responsible for preemptively carrying out legal action against malicious comments, which are seen as social side effects, along with the development of online media and internet communities. The “Clean Internet Center” operates by having monitoring personnel identify malicious comments and other postings at all times, and legal action is taken following immediate legal review and the celebrity’s consent. We will be taking measures one step ahead of the past method in which action was taken after a particular incident occurred and became an issue.

LIWU Law Group targets a wide range of online platforms through the “Clean Internet Center,” including specific articles, social media postings by certain people, and communities used by unspecified people. We will also monitor malicious comments posted on various online platforms, as well as illegal postings that unfairly violate the personal rights of a particular person. Therefore, everything from simple verbal abuse to reckless slander, privacy violations, and personal insults will be monitored by the “Clean Internet Center.” We will have approximately 10 people regularly monitoring [the internet].

The reports collected and sent by fans to our e-mail account (protect@konnectent.com) will be continuously monitored through LIWU Law Group’s “Clean Internet Center,” so we look forward to your active cooperation.

Thank you.
