Kim Yu-na and Ko Woo-rim couple pulled a knife to fake news.
Kim Yu-na's management company All That Sports (CEO Koo Dong-hoe) announced on the 16th that it will delete and block absurd fake news about Kim Yu-na and her husband through SNS and take all possible civil and criminal legal measures against the spreader.
All That Sports CEO Koo Dong-hoe said, "Fake news related to Kim Yu-na couple has been continuously uploaded and distributed through YouTube. As Kim Yu-na's agency, we will take stern legal action against fake news YouTubers and spreaders."
Regarding the recent rapid spread of fake news related to Kim Yu-na, CEO Koo added, "Fake news is spreading like poison mushrooms to sports stars as well as entertainers under the guise of freedom of expression," but this is not freedom, but a crime and a social evil."
"If fake news continues to be mass-produced, the victims can be not only celebrities in our society but also all ordinary members of society," he said. "It is an issue that all of us should be publicized so that fake news can be eradicated, and ultimately, we need to come up with institutional measures that are pan-social," he said.
Meanwhile, various fake news were posted on YouTube, including Kim Yu-na and Ko Woo-rim's "divorce rumor" and "birth rumor." The news says the two are separated and will divorce.
