On January 9, Bae Seul-ki’s agency, Chan Entertainment, issued a statement announcing that they had decided to take strong legal action against the death threats recently made against the actress and her husband, YouTuber Shim Lee-seop.
Recently, malicious posts targeting Bae Seul-ki and her family, including her husband, were found on an online community.
Bae Seul-ki revealed in a phone call with X Sports News, “Actually, I don’t use the community, so I didn’t know about it,” and continued, “A few days ago, suddenly the police came to my house. I was shocked.”
She said, “I found out about the death threats when the police told me,” and added, “I’m grateful to the person who reported it.”
Bae Seul-ki explained, “The threats were severe enough that the police had to respond,” and shared that she canceled her schedule, including a visit to the hospital with her baby, out of concern.
In addition to the threatening posts directed at the couple, there were also comments targeting their child. Bae Seul-ki expressed her frustration, “I was honestly angry. I discussed it with the company. I’ve ignored numerous malicious comments in the past because there are people who dislike you, but this time, the severity was too much, and the company was very worried.”
She ultimately decided to take legal action for the sake of her child, “The original post was deleted, but my husband received a report and has already filed a lawsuit through his attorney.”
Her agency also stated that they are working with law enforcement to track down the perpetrators of the malicious posts and comments and will hold them legally accountable without tolerance.
While methods such as deleting records or withdrawing accounts are becoming more widespread, the agency revealed that they are collecting posts and requesting cooperation from the sites. They expressed a strong stance, saying they will continue legal action in partnership with their legal team, earning support and encouragement from many fans.
Meanwhile, Bae Seul-ki married YouTube creator Shim Lee-seop in November 2020, and in October, they welcomed their first child after four years of marriage, receiving much congratulation.
