The Korea Times

By Dong Sun-hwa
K-pop boy band Stray Kids’ management agency has warned it will take legal action against people who violate the privacy of band members.
“There have frequently been cases in which people violate Stray Kids’ privacy using the members’ personal information,” JYP Entertainment wrote on the group’s online fan page. “These people have been inflicting psychological damage on the singers by calling them night and day and sending spam texts.
“These acts violate the nation’s privacy laws. If such acts continue, we will take legal action.”

Dahyun, a member of JYP’s girl band Twice, was a victim of invasion of privacy in December when an unknown person took a photo of her passport and posted it online.
JYP also said it had filed a complaint against online trolls for spreading rumours about members of Stray Kids. “We will respond strongly to any acts that disrupt the group’s musical activities,” it said.
Stray Kids, comprising Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N, made their debut in 2018 with the mini-album “I Am Not”.
They are set to release their first English album “Step Out of Clé” on January 24. The band will also launch a world tour in New York on January 29.
