Mar 03, 2020

Lee Dong Wook’s agency is taking legal action against false rumors about his religious beliefs.

On March 3, King Kong by Starship released a statement on their official Instagram account. It reads:

Hello, this is King Kong by Starship.

Recently, we have confirmed that false rumors are being spread about our artist being involved in a special religion.

With regards to this, we plan to take strong legal action against the cultivation of baseless rumors, malicious slander, and comments that defame our artist’s character. We will also be taking legal action against behavior that spreads or reproduces these rumors and damages our artist’s character and good name.

Our agency will continue to actively monitor the situation so that further damage does not occur. We will do our best to protect our artists by pursuing strong legal action without compromise.

Thank you for loving and supporting our agency artists.

After it was reported that the religious group known as Sincheonji was at the center of the spread of COVID-19 cases in the Daegu region, there has been rampant online speculation about various celebrities supposedly being part of this religious group.
