[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Kang Sung-hoon, a singer and former member of the group Sechs Kies, has announced legal action against malicious commenters.

On the 18th, Jeongsol Law Firm, Kang Sung-hoon's legal representative, stated, "We have determined that the habitual and malicious dissemination and reproduction of defamatory posts aimed at slandering Mr. Kang Sung-hoon have reached an intolerable level," adding, "We have selected malicious comments and posts that exceed socially acceptable limits and have filed a complaint."

They continued, "We will pursue civil and criminal legal measures without any settlement or leniency, and we plan to respond strictly to any future cases of damage," indicating a firm stance.

Previously, Kang Sung-hoon had ongoing conflicts with fans and withdrew from Sechs Kies on December 31, 2018.

Kang Sung-hoon had planned to hold a mini concert and birthday fan meeting in February, but these were canceled due to concerns over the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Instead, he is scheduled to present a live concert through his YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on the 22nd.
