[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Amid suspicions that there is a group attempting to slander singer Youngtak (Park Youngtak), his agency has acknowledged this and announced a stance for legal action.

On the 19th, the agency Milagro stated, "As it has become known that there is a group intentionally slandering Youngtak, we will no longer stand by while the artist suffers damage."

They continued, "Our company plans to respond strongly without leniency upon discovering false information creation and distribution, personal attacks, insults, defamation, and malicious posts online to protect the artist."

Furthermore, they emphasized, "We are currently collecting related materials and evidence through monitoring SNS, online communities, and portal sites, and we inform you that we will take criminal legal action regarding cases corresponding to defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act and insult under the Criminal Act."

On the same day, a media outlet reported, citing an internal whistleblower, that there is a slander group aiming to bury Youngtak in the entertainment industry. It claimed that this group is proceeding step-by-step with a so-called 'Youngtak killing' plan, including releasing messenger conversations.

Earlier, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent Milagro CEO Lee Jaegyu to the prosecution on the 1st for violating the Act on the Promotion of the Music Industry.

Subsequently, on the 4th, CEO Lee Jaegyu claimed, "I lost my reason for a moment due to personal greed and did something I should not have," adding, "Youngtak did not know about it." However, controversy arose after materials indicating that Youngtak was aware of the circumstances were submitted to the police.

In response, Youngtak explained, "I appeared at the investigative agency and was investigated, and it was revealed that I was cleared of charges related to the case."
