RESCENE’s agency is drawing a hard line against online hate. On November 12, The Muze Entertainment announced on the group’s official fan platform that it has filed a first round of criminal complaints against people who wrote and spread malicious posts about the five members, Wonie, Liv, Minami, May, and Zena.
According to the agency, baseless rumors and defamatory posts aimed at the group had been popping up again and again on online communities and social media. The company said these posts went well beyond fair criticism or personal opinion, and that it would no longer let them slide. The complaints were built on the agency’s own monitoring along with tips sent in by fans, and investigators are now looking into the cases.
The Muze also made it clear that hitting delete won’t get anyone off the hook. Because evidence has already been collected, the agency plans to track down offenders even if they change their usernames, delete their accounts, post from overseas, or hide their IP addresses. It added that there will be no settlements and no leniency, even if offenders send apology letters or point to their age or a clean record.
The statement comes during the biggest stretch of RESCENE’s career so far. The group has been riding a wave of buzz thanks to the viral ‘Yaho’ meme and the chart comeback of their 2024 song ‘LOVE ATTACK.’ Their 4th mini album, ‘PULSE,’ released on November 3, sold 602,688 copies in its first week, making RESCENE half-million sellers for the first time, and title track ‘With’ has already picked up two music show wins.
