On December 13, the idol uploaded a post to her Instagram in response to rumors claiming that Areum’s boyfriend was a sex offender.

I believe a lot of you would have seen articles like this. There is nothing more to say. I am currently looking for the person who wrote this article and the person who spread the rumor. I am thinking of suing all of the malicious comments under other articles, YouTube videos, and portal sites. How great would this world be if we cherished what can’t be seen? If people knew the pain and tears behind truths untold, then there wouldn’t be malicious comments. Everyone wants to heal their own wounds, yet so easily wound others. I made up my mind after seeing the person I love in pain. I never cared for malicious comments targeting me, but I can’t forgive them for hurting the people I love. He is someone who is warm and supports me. He is someone who sacrificed himself and took care of me. The rumors are false and I am not bothered since I know this person. I believe the person who uploaded the rumor knew I would respond.

Areum then vowed to take legal action against those who spread misinformation.

I could ignore this, but I am writing this instead. I will take legal action.
