Although the group ENHYPEN stalked and illegally filmed, it eventually pulled out the knife for privacy violations.
On the afternoon of the 18th, EnHyphen’s agency, Billifrap, posted a notice on the official fan community Weverse related to legal action related to artist rights violations.
In addition to the recent serious invasion of privacy, including stalking and illegal filming of artists, there have been repeated cases of maliciously manipulating and disseminating false facts or slandering artists for the purpose of harming artists based on these acts, Billifrap said. “This is an act that is subject to criminal punishment, and the false information circulated above has seriously damaged the artist’s reputation as it has spread to various online communities and social media.”

Based on the real-time monitoring system and reports, Billifrap, which announced that it has implemented immediate legal measures such as reporting and filing complaints against actors such as invasion of privacy and dissemination of false information, said, “We have also completed the collection of malicious posts and comments aimed at reproducing them in the domestic and foreign communities, and we have submitted a complaint to the investigative agency based on the results of such evidence,” and stressed, “We will continue to collect additional malicious posts and comments to proceed with legal action.”
“We are conducting regular legal actions against those who wrote malicious posts such as defamation, insults, sexual harassment, false information dissemination, and malicious slander against ENHYPEN. As part of this, we collected malicious posts and comments posted on a number of domestic and foreign platforms and social media, including Daily Best, Doucou, Dish Inside, Nate Pan, Instise, Epem Korea, Naver, and Daum, and included them in the complaint,” he said. “We are also taking immediate legal action, including police reporting, to protect artists and illegal activities such as stalking, privacy infringement, and personal information leakage.”
“We will further strengthen real-time monitoring and collection of evidence, and actively cooperate with investigative agencies to hold them accountable for criminal acts until the end,” said Billifrap, who warned, “There is no agreement or leniency in the legal response process related to the infringement of the artist’s rights and interests.”

On the 10th, he raised suspicions of their romantic relationship by posting several photos and videos online, along with sightings of Espa Winter and Enhyphen Garden.
When rumors of a romantic relationship were raised, SM Entertainment, the agency of Espa, said, “The photo distributor contacted the media for money and tried to communicate directly with us, but when the media refused to connect the report for money, it distributed it maliciously. We will take legal action against this,” he said, denying the romantic relationship. Billifrap also said, “The rumors of a romantic relationship are not true. “Belifrap will respond strongly to acts that infringe on the privacy of artists and create and spread malicious rumors,” he said.
Later, on the 12th, the next day, Jung-won said on Weverse Live, “There was a comment asking if I was dating, but I’m not dating. I don’t even smoke. I don’t know how those who posted it are trying to handle it, but I don’t date, I don’t smoke,” he said, firmly denying his romantic relationship.
Meanwhile, the Internet user, who first reported the romantic relationship between the two, deleted the original photo and account and hid them.
