RESCENE's agency files criminal complaint over malicious posts, vows zero tolerance
The Muze Entertainment filed a criminal complaint on Nov. 12 against creators of malicious content targeting RESCENE members. Law enforcement is now investigating.
The Muze Entertainment filed its first criminal complaint against creators and distributors of malicious posts targeting RESCENE members on November 12. Law enforcement is currently investigating. The agency confirmed that groundless rumors and malicious slander have been repeatedly posted across online communities and various SNS platforms.
No exit for perpetrators
The agency's statement covers every evasion tactic: deleting posts, changing IDs, withdrawing accounts, using overseas platforms, anonymous communities, or IP-bypassing methods. In each case, the agency says it will cooperate with investigative authorities to identify individuals using already-secured evidence. "Without a single exception, we will pursue legal responsibility to the end even if the perpetrator submits a reflection statement or appeals for leniency citing being a first-time offender or age," the agency stated.
No settlement. No leniency.
The comeback context
The complaint comes nine days into RESCENE's PULSE era. The group's fourth mini album dropped November 3. Title track "With" hit No. 1 on Melon TOP100, Bugs real-time chart, Genie Music TOP 200 real-time chart, and YouTube Music Korea trending videos. First-week sales reached 602,688 copies—a personal record and the top first-week figure among girl groups in the second half of this year. On November 10, the group took the No. 1 trophy on SBS Life's The Show.
RESCENE is a five-member group under The Muze Entertainment that debuted in 2024, consisting of Won-i, Rib, Minami, Mei, and Jena.
