The group’s agency, MLD Entertainment, shared a notice stating that Kyler and the group had held discussions and resolved issues. The company also claimed to be seeking legal action against the spread of rumors and the distribution of unlawfully gained materials.

“Hello. This is MLD Entertainment.

First and foremost, we sincerely extend our apologies to the fans, the members, and anyone who felt distress due to the past actions of the company’s artist, Kyler Chua, in the video that has been shared online. The members of HORI7ON, including Kyler, have engaged in discussions that led to a mutual understanding and resolution, which has enhanced their unity as a group. To safeguard the reputation and integrity of our artists, the company will not tolerate defamation or the spread of harmful rumors online, nor the distribution of unlawfully obtained materials, and we will pursue legal action both civil and criminal against these unlawful acts. We have secured legal representation, met with the National Bureau of Investigation, and lodged a legal complaint against those responsible for circulating these harmful videos and disseminating other malicious rumors. We will persist in taking decisive measures against those who continue to create false rumors or share and promote these claims on social networks and online platforms. Once again, we sincerely apologize for the emotional distress caused to Anchors. The company will keep on doing our utmost to ensure monitoring our artists, and will keep on taking legal action to protect them. We will continue to take strong legal action against misconduct directed towards our artists after this case.

While the statement addressed the video, a netizen’s discovery has seemingly created more criticism of the company.

According to a post made on X, the video in question appears to have been posted to Kyler’s Facebook account. The user also shared an image of an album shared by Kyler’s alleged Facebook profile as additional proof.

The criticism of Kyler and MLD Entertainment has continued despite the statement, with many still echoing previous desires for his removal.
