Recently, at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards held in Incheon, actress and singer IU drew attention as she walked the red carpet. However, behind her shining stage, some painful events are casting shadows.
At the Seoul Central District Court, a woman in her 30s, identified as Ms. A, is on trial for defaming IU. Ms. A is accused of posting derogatory comments about IU’s outfits and singing skills in April 2022, and the prosecution has sought a four-month prison sentence for her. During the trial, Ms. A claimed she suffers from a mental disorder and was merely expressing personal preferences, requesting leniency. Her lawyer argued that Ms. A expressed opinions based on facts, but the prosecution insists the defamation charge stands.
In response, IU’s agency, EDAM Entertainment, has announced a strong stance. The agency released an official statement revealing they have filed lawsuits against more than 180 individuals last year and this year, resulting in various legal actions. Those who made sexual harassment and death threats faced fines but have appealed, awaiting a formal trial. The agency emphasized there will be no settlements or leniency for malicious commenters, promising continued strong action.
Meanwhile, IU recently completed her ‘2024 IU HEREH WORLD TOUR CONCERT ENCORE: THE WINNING’ successfully and is set to meet fans as AeSoon in the upcoming Netflix series ‘You Have Done Well’. Fans are eagerly anticipating her active engagements, and there is much interest in what new projects and stages IU will captivate her fans with in the future.
