Actress Song Ji Hyo is taking firm legal action after receiving a threatening email aimed at damaging both her reputation and her agency’s operations. On November 21, the legal representative of Nexus ENM released an official statement detailing the incident, revealing that an individual sent an email accusing Song Ji Hyo’s father’s company of alleged debt default.
According to the agency, the email did not simply contain claims it also included an attached mock-up of a protest banner. The banner featured the phrase: “Parents of a famous celebrity, known on TV for a passenger ship business.” The legal team noted that this was a clear attempt to weaponize Song Ji Hyo’s family background in order to pressure the actress.
Threats Directed at Agency, Not Family Raising Suspicion of Malicious Intent
The law firm stressed that the threatening material was sent to the agency, not to Song Ji Hyo’s father, which raises serious questions about the sender’s motive. “This is a direct attempt to tarnish Song Ji Hyo’s honor by publicly posting defamatory banners in front of the company,” the representative stated.
The agency further pointed out that the sender’s behavior goes beyond personal accusations. “This incident appears to be aimed not only at defaming Song Ji Hyo but also at obstructing the company’s regular business activities. This is an explicit criminal act that crosses the boundaries of what society can accept.”
Official Warning: No Negotiations, No Leniency
Nexus ENM emphasized that any form of coercion, intimidation, or blackmail directed at their artists or employees will be met with zero tolerance. The statement made clear that the company will pursue every legal option available, including civil and criminal action, should the sender continue attempts to pressure or threaten the actress.
The agency concluded: “We will not overlook any threats toward Song Ji Hyo or our company. If unlawful conduct persists, we will take all necessary legal measures without hesitation.”
With the situation escalating, fans have expressed strong support for Song Ji Hyo, urging the public to refrain from spreading unverified rumors and to respect the actress’s privacy and safety. The investigation and legal process are expected to continue as authorities look into the identity and intent behind the threatening email.
