SM Entertainment Says It Has Filed Legal Complaints Against Hundreds of Online Accounts

The company says its real-time evidence gathering will enable prosecutions for defamation, deepfakes, sexual harassment and copyright breaches.

Overview

SM disclosed on July 10 that it has already lodged legal complaints and lawsuits against numerous named accounts and communities across multiple platforms.
The company named specific sites targeted in the filings, including X, DC Inside, YouTube, Theqoo, Naver and Daum cafes, Instagram and Threads.
SM provided example counts and lists in its statement, citing roughly 108 Theqoo users and about 197 DC Inside cases alongside hundreds of other accounts.
SM said it has been collecting real-time evidence and warned that deleting posts, deactivating accounts, or switching to private profiles will not remove legal liability.
The agency said it relies on fan reports submitted through its KWANGYA 119 channel and will continue monitoring and pursuing further legal action while outcomes remain pending.
