Kim Hieora’s company has introduced that they are going to take robust authorized measures towards the media outlet that originally reported allegations towards Kim Hieora.
Following Dispatch’s new report and the company’s formal response to that report on September 10, GRAM Leisure launched a brand new assertion asserting their plan to take authorized motion as follows:
Good day, that is GRAM Leisure.
We apologize for inflicting concern to many individuals as a result of controversy associated to our actress Kim Hieora. We want to apologize to the many individuals who’ve been disillusioned and harmed by this incident.
Right this moment, we categorical our remorse concerning a media outlet that lined the informant’s one-sided claims about Kim Hieora as in the event that they have been confirmed details, and we determined to take authorized motion as we can not condone the present scenario which is damaging the popularity of the company’s actress and inflicting struggling to unrelated people.
We disclose the acts dedicated by the media outlet in the midst of reporting as follows, and we intend to take robust authorized motion towards groundless claims and people who unilaterally declare such sooner or later.
As soon as once more, we categorical our intent to take robust authorized motion for malicious acts towards our actress, and we’ll do our greatest to guard our artist.
Beneath are our place and collection of processes concerning the media outlet that first lined and reported the suspicions about Kim Hieora.
1. The media outlet that made the primary report not solely maliciously edited the informant’s phrases opposite to the details but additionally tried to rationalize the legitimacy of their report by conveying that they have been thoughtful of the company and the artist [by holding the report until the actress’s on-air drama ended], including the nuance of disgrace.
For instance, the writing within the unique article on September 9 the place it mentions, “September 8, 2023, Kim Hieora referred to as H,” and “Kim Hieora launched an announcement. H is the proof of college violence. Thus on September 8, she referred to as H urgently,” is clearly reporting that distorts the details.
After the discharge of our company’s assertion, H despatched a textual content message to Kim Hieora first, expressing their want for a cellphone name, however they have been unable to come up with one another with the preliminary cellphone name, so it was Kim Hieora who despatched the decision afterwards. H even put stress on Kim Hieora by itemizing groundless claims for the aim of reporting it to the media outlet, and Kim Hieora, who made the decision with a sense of guilt for not having stood up for her pal throughout the scenario that H was speaking about, realized solely later that the decision was maliciously supposed.
2. On Might 17, the media outlet cajoled and coerced Kim Hieora, who visited the media outlet alone with out being accompanied by somebody from the company to elucidate the accusations, by saying, “In the event you admit it, we’ll alter the extent of the article’s severity. Then it will likely be like Kim OO’s case so it is possible for you to to return [to the screen].”
For instance, they repeatedly requested the identical query to Kim Hieora who claimed that she by no means smoked, urging her to reply with a distinct reply by saying, “There are such a lot of informants who mentioned they noticed you smoking.” Kim Hieora was claiming her innocence, they usually pressured her by saying, “We will skip that since it’s not essential,” and opposite to their declare that they revealed verifiable content material solely, they included the informants’ claims of their unique report and craftily talked about the accusations of [making others run errands for] cigarettes for her, inducing the general public to misconceive.
3. The media outlet claimed that their protection had already been accomplished in Might and that that they had delayed publishing the article out of consideration for Kim Hieora, whose drama was about to premiere. Nonetheless, though the preliminary informants and Kim Hieora cleared up their misunderstandings and relayed this info to the media outlet, they reported the suspicions anyway.
On this course of, what we belatedly discovered is that after the media outlet knowledgeable our company of the scenario that the report [about Kim Hieora] was obtained, the outlet secretly met with the informants and picked up proof for reporting previous to arranging a gathering [with our agency]. When the informants acknowledged that there was a misunderstanding and tried to alter their minds, the media outlet clearly talked about to them, “In that case, the report can’t be revealed.” Even afterwards, the outlet deceived us with lies and deceitful acts akin to implying that there have been no calls from the informants or that that they had not met them.
The rights of many people are being violated as a result of latest allegations towards Kim Hieora. Because of the fallacy of hasty generalization that even a small battle means bullying and faculty violence and the [strict] requirements held for celebrities, even irrelevant persons are turning into victims of being suspected of bullying simply because they have been members of a [school] group. We sincerely hope that there can be no extra victims as a consequence of indiscriminate stories.
We are going to discern the reality of this incident legally till the tip, and we’ll reveal the whole lot together with what is true and fallacious in what the media calls proof and misunderstandings with the informants at courtroom.
We apologize as soon as once more for inflicting concern to many individuals as a consequence of this disagreeable incident.
Beforehand on September 6, Dispatch launched a prolonged report concerning accusations of Kim Hieora being a member of what was allegedly an iljin (faculty bullying) group referred to as Massive Sangji at Sangji Ladies’ Center Faculty. In response to the report, GRAM Leisure firmly denied Kim Hieora’s participation in iljin associated actions and faculty violence.
On September 9, Dispatch revealed a prolonged new three-part report about Kim Hieora, together with a transcript of a cellphone name between the actress and an alleged sufferer. Later that day, Kim Hieora’s company responded to their allegations with a brand new assertion of its personal.
