Dex's Agency Warns Legal Action Against Stalking And Invasion Of Privacy

Dex’s agency kthdstudio has announced a temporary hiatus of Dex’s YouTube channel, warned against the unauthorized use of Dex-related media, and strongly condemned acts of stalking and privacy infringement.

On December 3, the agency released the following statement:

Hello, this is kthdstudio.

First and foremost, we sincerely thank all fans for the love and support you have shown our artists. Today, we have several important announcements to share.

1. Dex’s YouTube channel [DEX101] will take an extended break starting December 2, 2024. Over the past four years, despite his packed schedule, Dex has dedicated himself fully to the channel. However, despite recent breaks, we’ve concluded that more time is needed to restructure and improve the content.

This hiatus does not signify a permanent stop but rather a step towards providing better content in the future. We kindly ask for your understanding and assure you that we will return with even higher-quality content after this break.

2. Recently, we’ve noticed frequent cases of unauthorized use of unauthorized use of copyrighted content featuring Dex’s appearances in broadcast programs, including portrait rights, name rights, photos, and edited clips, both online and offline.

We remind everyone that these works and rights are protected under copyright law, and any unauthorized usage may result in legal penalties. We request that all unauthorized content be removed by December 10, 2024. Beyond this date, we will pursue legal action against any continued violations.

3. We are aware of acts infringing on Dex’s privacy, commonly referred to as sasaeng behavior, identified through our internal monitoring and fan reports. These include visiting his residence, following him during his personal time, and taking unauthorized photos or videos. We are announcing that we will take strong action against such behaviors, which constitute stalking crimes and an infringement of his privacy, and have caused significant distress and fear to our artist.

Additionally, the spread of false information and maliciously distorted rumors propagated by some netizens have caused mental harm to not only Dex but also his family. We urge an immediate stop to all forms of stalking and defamatory activities that harm Dex, his family, acquaintances, and colleagues.

kthdstudio will take strong legal action without leniency against those involved in stalking or spreading malicious rumors to protect the fundamental rights of our artists.

We sincerely appreciate the immense support and love you continue to show for our artists and kindly ask for your warm encouragement moving forward.

Thank you.
