Below is the full statement

We demand severe punishment for malicious content creators represented by ‘Taldeok Camp’.

The Korea Management Association, Korea Entertainment Producers Association, Korea Music Label Industry Association, and Korea Music Contents Association (hereinafter referred to as ‘popular music-related organizations’, in alphabetical order) are responsible for malicious content such as ‘Taldeok Camp’ that continuously harasses pop culture artists on YouTube and SNS. We earnestly appeal that the creator be severely punished.

Malicious content creators produce and distribute numerous videos that ridicule or insult artists based on provocative topics without verifying the facts. They use their anonymity to create malicious controversy and exploit the suffering of others to maximize their own profits. The public who encounters the content believes the information and criticizes the artist, which can even lead to a collective cyberbullying phenomenon. This not only causes damage to the artist and the agency, but also worsens the image of our country’s pop culture and arts industry as a whole, resulting in a significant negative impact on the industry.

In order to eradicate this situation, a thorough investigation and severe punishment by investigative agencies is needed more than anything else. Although the popular culture industry has made great efforts, our efforts alone have limitations. Accordingly, we sincerely ask our pop music organizations to sound the alarm that even if the government hides behind anonymity, criminal acts have no choice but to be punished and held accountable.

We also urge that the system against indiscriminate malicious comments, cyber defamation, and insulting crimes be improved to provide a foundation for the continued development of Korea’s popular culture industry, which is reaching its peak worldwide.

Our pop music-related organizations will also continuously seek ways to develop the overall pop culture industry and strive to help K-pop and K-content lead the world.

thank you
