One Hundred Takes a Stand Against Online Hate
One Hundred, the powerhouse agency led by MC Mong, is making waves in the K-pop world with its bold stance against malicious online activity. In a move that’s got Seoul Crushers buzzing, the company has officially announced its plan to take legal action against those spreading hate and false information about their artists. This decisive step marks a significant moment in the ongoing battle against cyberbullying in the entertainment industry.
Protecting Artists: A Top Priority
One Hundred’s legal action against malicious commenters comes as no surprise to those who’ve been following the agency’s dedication to its artists. The company’s statement, released on March 17th, emphasized their commitment to monitoring online platforms and collecting reports from fans about defamatory posts and comments. This proactive approach shows just how seriously One Hundred takes the well-being of its talents.
But what does this mean for the artists under One Hundred’s umbrella? For groups like THE BOYZ and solo artists such as Taemin and Lee Mu Jin, it’s a clear message that their agency has their backs. This level of support is crucial in an industry where online hate can have real-world consequences for performers’ mental health and careers.

The Legal Battle Begins
One Hundred isn’t just talking the talk – they’re walking the walk. The agency has already filed a complaint with the Seoul Gangnam Police Station regarding 30 malicious posts on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter). This action sends a strong message to those who think they can hide behind anonymity to spread hate.
What’s particularly noteworthy is the agency’s firm stance on the matter. They’ve made it clear that there will be no leniency or settlements when it comes to protecting their artists. This zero-tolerance policy could set a new standard in how entertainment companies deal with online harassment.
A Ripple Effect in the Industry
One Hundred’s legal action against malicious commenters isn’t just about protecting their own artists – it could have far-reaching effects on the entire K-pop industry. As the parent company of Big Planet Made Entertainment and INB100, One Hundred’s influence extends to a wide range of popular acts, including VIVIZ, EXO members Baekhyun, Xiumin, and Chen, and even entertainer Lee Soo Geun.
This move could inspire other agencies to take similar steps, creating a safer online environment for all K-pop idols and entertainers. It’s a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, these are real people who deserve respect and protection from unwarranted attacks.
Final Thoughts: A New Era of Artist Protection?
One Hundred’s legal action against malicious commenters marks a significant moment in the K-pop industry’s fight against online hate. As fans, it’s heartening to see agencies taking such strong measures to protect their artists.
