Nexus ENM: "Email Alleging Default by Jihyo Song's Father's Company Is a Criminal Act"
Nexus ENM has announced a firm stance against what it described as a "clear criminal act" after receiving an email that raised suspicions about the father of its affiliated actress Jihyo Song, including a draft of a banner.
On November 21, Nexus ENM's legal representative, Namsan Law Firm, stated in an official announcement, "We recently received an email alleging that the company operated by Ms. Jihyo Song's father is in default." The firm added, "The email included a draft of a banner with the phrase 'Famous celebrity's parent, well-known for the passenger ship business on TV!' as well as a letter of inquiry."
The legal representative emphasized that sending such a banner draft goes beyond a simple inquiry and could be interpreted as an attempt to actually display a banner in front of the company, thereby defaming the affiliated actress and interfering with normal business activities. "This constitutes a level of criminal conduct that cannot be tolerated by social standards," the representative stressed.
The statement continued, "A threat that cannot be regarded as a reasonable means for a legitimate purpose is subject to punishment," adding, "Our company considers the act of sending such materials to Nexus ENM, rather than to Ms. Jihyo Song's father, to constitute intimidation."
