[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Amid allegations that Sudam, a member of the rookie group Secret Number, was a perpetrator of school violence in the past, the agency has stated that these claims are groundless and expressed their intention to take strong legal action against the false information.

The SNS account that raised the school violence allegations against Sudam has since been deleted. The agency repeatedly emphasized that these are false statements made with malicious intent.

Secret Number’s agencies Vine Entertainment and RD Company posted an official statement on their SNS on the 19th, saying, "We clearly deny the malicious slanderous posts about Secret Number member 'Sudam' circulating on SNS, which are malicious rumors and false information."

The agency requested, "Please do not let the rookie group taking their first steps in the music industry be hurt by false rumors any longer," and indicated a strong stance by adding, "From this time onward, we plan to consider legal action against all acts of spreading malicious slander, rumors, and false information."

Previously, on the 18th, a netizen A, claiming to be a high school classmate of Sudam, posted on Twitter, "Sudam led bullying and drank alcohol and came to school since middle school, which I really disliked."

A said, "I didn’t want to know, but she came by herself and talked as if boasting. She said, 'Yesterday, I drank with some oppas and unnies, I drank so much I feel like throwing up,' and deliberately came to where I and my friends were and made a fuss."

The Twitter account has now been deleted. The agency once again emphasized that these are malicious falsehoods.

Below is the full official statement from Secret Number’s side

Hello. This is Vine Entertainment and RD Company, the agencies of Secret Number.

We clearly state that the malicious slanderous posts about Secret Number member 'Sudam' circulating on SNS on the morning of the 19th are malicious rumors and false information.
