Actor Lee Min Ho and his agency, MYM Entertainment, is set to file charges against the people who are spreading false rumors against the actor. The popular actor, who is fresh from the box office success of his film "Bounty Hunters," is apparently taking the rumors seriously and intends to do something about it.
According to allKpop, MYM Entertainment announced their intent to file the charges against the individuals spreading malicious rumors, and that they will not allow it to continue happening. The entertainment agency vowed to protect the rights of their artists and will aggressively pursue legal action based on evidence that they have collected.
MYM Entertainment also stated that they will take legal action without warning, and that while they respect freedom of expression, it is a crime to use this freedom to hurt other people and damage their reputation. They also stated that they want to help in promoting a healthy internet culture, free from innuendos and false rumors.
According to International Business Times, it is unclear yet what is behind the reason for the aggressive approach, as the agency did not mention specifically what online sites purportedly defamed the actor, nor mention what comments and statements have been made against the actor.
News about Lee began to circulate after speculations were made regarding the status of his relationship with girlfriend Suzy Bae. Several fans have noted that Bae and Lee have not seen together for some time, and this led to fans speculating that the couple has broken up after a 17-month relationship.
