K-pop girl group IVE is taking action against online harassment. Their agency STARSHIP Entertainment has filed a fresh update on criminal complaints against malicious posters targeting the group across multiple platforms.
This is the second time the label has publicly addressed the toxic behavior. STARSHIP has identified specific accounts spreading hate and is now detailing who's behind the vitriol.
The agency is pursuing both civil and criminal action. Every identified account is under legal scrutiny.
IVE—the five-member group behind hits like "I AM" and "Either Way"—has faced relentless trolling online. The label is determined to respond: those harassing the group will face legal consequences.
STARSHIP's approach reflects a shift in how K-pop agencies handle cyberbullying. Rather than tolerating abuse silently, they are filing charges and identifying accounts responsible. The strategy is spreading across the industry.
The group's fans are backing the legal action. Online communities dedicated to IVE have expressed support for the agency's crackdown on toxic accounts.
STARSHIP Entertainment is making clear that anonymous trolling targeting their artists carries legal risk.
