G-Dragon Sues Over 100 Cyberbullies; Some Already Delivered to Prosecutors

Galaxy Corporation, G-Dragon’s management agency, announced on the 24th that it has filed a large-scale lawsuit against more than 100 individuals who posted malicious online content under charges of defamation. This action, based on evidence collected through fan reports and internal monitoring, is being carried out in collaboration with law firm Yulchon, and some suspects have already been transferred to the prosecutors’ office.

In an official statement, Galaxy Corporation stated that it has sued over 100 posters of malicious content for violating the Act on Promotion of Information Network Utilization and Information Protection (defamation) due to acts such as defamation, dissemination of false information, malicious slander, and infringement of personal rights against G-Dragon.

Investigation agencies conducted searches at online communities and social media platforms, identifying numerous suspects across major platforms including Nate Pan, Naver, DC Inside, Dirku, and X (formerly Twitter). Some suspects who admitted to the charges have completed their interviews as defendants and been sent to the prosecutors’ office, where they are awaiting further decisions. Meanwhile, active investigations continue at the police level regarding suspects who deny the allegations.

The agency explained that since the case is currently at the prosecutor’s stage, it is difficult to disclose the identities of the suspects due to privacy laws and investigation procedures. It also stated that it continues to gather evidence of malicious posts posted on various SNS platforms and online sites, and plans to gradually expand civil and criminal actions to protect the artist’s rights in the future.

The agency requested fans who encounter malicious posts to send a single PDF file via email containing clear details such as the post’s URL, date of posting, author’s ID or nickname, content of the infringement, and date of capture.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon recently concluded his first solo fan meeting successfully in three Asian cities: Seoul, Japan, and Thailand. As he ramps up activities to mark BIGBANG’s 20th anniversary this year, he is scheduled to perform on the main stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, in April.
