Hi. This is Starship Entertainment
We apologize for the confusio
Regarding the allegations related to Kihyun, we have dealt with each of the two issue
In the case of the person who raised the issue through the online community on the 22nd, we met with the publisher in person, first of all, to check the facts, and to apologize and take responsibility for anything wrong.
Today, Kihyun met with the classmates in junior high school when he posted the post, clearing the misunderstandings accumulated for a long time, and having a place to treat each other with sincerity. It was confirmed that the contents pointed out as Kihyun at the meeting point were misunderstandings as Kihyun that a friend other than Kihyun acted.
Kihyun expressed her feelings of regret to the classmate for not being a good and reliable companion during her school days.
The publisher also resolved the misunderstanding at the time, and furthermore, they openly exchanged many stories about the past, and made a promise to the next.
In addition, with the consent of the artist, we directly checked the student records at the time, and received testimony that Kihyun had never been harassed through various methods such as acquaintances, school officials, and alumni at the time.
Nevertheless, Kihyun still has a heavy and distressed heart as an adult for the fact that she has not been able to achieve exemplary school life and studies, and furthermore, she has not left desirable memories. In response to this, Kihyun expressed her regret and regret about the past, as well as her immature attitudes and behaviors, all her fellow classmates who may have been hurt by each and every little thing she may have done. And looking back on the past, I expressed my commitment to be a mature member of society.
On the other hand, apart from this, we have spoken in 2015 and recently that we will strongly respond to other publishers who are posting malicious posts that are not true.
We hope that you understand that we have no choice but to take legal action strongly against matters that are clearly different from the facts or are falsely exaggerated.
Thank you.
