Choi Hyunsuk, leader of TREASURE, along with the entire group, has been the target of increasing online harassment, cyberbullying, and malicious rumors. These harmful actions not only damage Choi Hyunsuk’s personal reputation but also negatively affect the group’s image and well-being. This ongoing harassment threatens their mental health and overall career.

As dedicated fans of TREASURE, we believe YG Entertainment must take immediate and strong legal action to protect both Choi Hyunsuk and the group from further harm.

TO: YG ENTERTAINMENT

Our Demands:

We urgently request that YG Entertainment:

1. Release an Official Statement: Publicly address the issue, condemning the harassment and committing to legal actions against the individuals responsible.

2. Initiate Legal Action: File lawsuits under South Korean defamation and cybercrime laws to protect Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE from false rumors, hate speech, and online harassment.

3. Ensure Removal of Harmful Content: Work with social media platforms to remove defamatory and malicious posts about Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE.

4. Mental Health Support: Provide Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE with professional counseling services to support their mental health amidst these challenges.

5. Regular Updates: Request that YG Entertainment provide regular updates to fans regarding the actions taken to address these issues, ensuring transparency in the process. 

6. Direct Reporting Channel for Hate Speech: Establish a dedicated channel (such as an email or online form) for fans to report instances of hate speech and harassment directed at idols. YG Entertainment should commit to reviewing these reports and taking appropriate action rather than ignoring them.

We have seen countless examples of the malicious attacks, rumors, and harassment aimed at Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE. These incidents are not isolated, and clearly shows a pattern of harmful behavior. It is crucial for YG Entertainment to take swift and decisive action to protect their artists and ensure that this toxic behavior is stopped.

For over two years, Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE have been facing relentless bullying, hate, false rumors, and harassment. After enduring this for so long, TREASURE MAKER has decided it's time to take action and demand protection for our idols.

Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s important to remember that idols are human beings with feelings just like us. The harsh judgment and relentless bullying they face should not define their worth or career. Instead of tearing them down, we should uplift and support them through their struggles. We believe that a supportive community is essential for their growth and happiness, and it's time to show that we stand by them, regardless of the challenges they face.

YG Entertainment must step forward and take responsibility for protecting their artists. It is their duty to create a safe and supportive environment for Choi Hyunsuk and TREASURE. By addressing the harassment publicly and taking legal action, the company can set a strong example that such behavior will not be tolerated. It's time for YG to stand by their artists and ensure their well-being.
