▲ The following is the full text of HYBE / SOURCE MUSIC's official position.

Hello, this is HYBE / SOURCE MUSIC.

This afternoon (19th), we will clarify our position regarding the "LE SSERAFIM" Kim Ga-ram Bullying Suspicion Victim Position Statement distributed to the media by the legal entity Delun (hereinafter referred to as Delun).

First of all, although a large number of minors are involved in the case currently being discussed in relation to Kim Ga-ram, a member of "LE SSERAFIM", Delyun unilaterally handles a large number of them. It is regretted the measures that announced my position to the media.

We will make it clear that we will organize and announce our position early on as Delyun has organized and announced some of the actual incidents that occurred in 2018 in our favor. As a result, we ask journalists to refrain from reporting on the basis of one-sided claims.

We would like to reiterate that this discussion began with the dissemination of false facts about members whose debut was imminent. We determined that the dissemination of such false facts was malicious, and immediately took legal action, and we are still proceeding with this procedure.

Despite the fact that the member was the target of a malicious attack hidden behind anonymity online, we did not actively explain it when the member was in the first year of junior high school. Many friends of the same age are involved in what they have done, and they have approached carefully because they are still minors.

However, the facts of this case in 2018 are currently being communicated only through one position, and we will clearly organize and clarify the position as soon as the consideration of Delun's allegations is completed.

Thank you very much.
