Singer Jiang Daniel's agency, which recently interrupted her acting activities due to depression, said that it will not only sue online malicious commenters for the second time, but also ask the court to close the relevant social media accounts and web pages in the malicious message set.

Yonhap News Agency said on the 16th that after the suicide of Korean artist Shirley, many Korean artists chose to launch a counterattack against bad critics through legal means.

In September this year, Jiang Daniel's brokerage company filed a lawsuit against some "habitual criminals" for insulting the Seoul Gangnam Police Station. Through Jiang Daniel's fan report, the agency obtained more relevant evidence of malicious commenters breaking the law and decided to file a second lawsuit. The brokerage said it would take legal measures against spreading malicious posts such as rumors about Ginger Daniel. The law firm that represented Jiang Daniel's case said that a website had hundreds of malicious slanders and slanders about Jiang Daniel, and had now sued the seoul central district court to ask the court to close the website.

Perhaps affected by Shirley's suicide, in addition to Jiang Daniel, the artists who have recently used legal means to pursue bad critics include Korean actress Ko Joon-hee, Cosmic Girl Group, former statusr group member Joo Woo, former i.o.i group member Jang Won-young and so on. Among them, Gao Junxi's brokerage company announced on the 2nd of this month that it has criminally prosecuted the defendants in 32 cases of bad evaluation incidents, most of whom have been punished by law or awaiting court judgment. The agency of Cosmic Girl, Zhao Yu and Zhang Yuanying also announced on the 4th that for netizens who have maliciously attacked their artists for many years, they have completed the collection of relevant evidence and sued the court. The entertainment company said it would have "zero tolerance" for those who badly commented.

Earlier, some South Korean portals have also turned off the message function below the entertainment section news. According to South Korean media reports, South Korea's large portal daum announced on October 25 that it decided to temporarily turn off the message function for entertainment news in response to the fermented network bad reviews.

Previously, many Korean artists have also used legal weapons to combat bad critics, and Kim Jia-yeon, a well-known Korean artist known as the "nemesis of bad critics" and "suing the queen", "caught one prosecution and one prosecution" when facing bad critics. Many bad critics have knelt down to Kim Jia-yeon in court and begged for forgiveness, but they were still fined different amounts. Ms. Kim has said on a variety show that she has filed more than 80 prosecutions, in which defendants in more than 40 cases have been punished by law. The secret is to collect evidence, once the bad review is found, it will immediately take a photo to keep and write down the ip address of the other party to screen the "bad review habitual offenders", and finally resort to the law. Kim has made many potential critics run away, setting an example for other artists who have been harassed by bad reviews for many years, and the latter have also begun to follow suit. For example, Lee Dahui, who debuted with Jiang Daniel, said on a variety show this year that he wanted to become the second Kim Jiayan in the Korean showbiz industry.

Yonhap News Agency said that although artists can punish online bad reviews through legal weapons, the latter is becoming increasingly crazy and difficult to resist. Many South Korean experts believe that unless the government implements the online real-name system as soon as possible and restricts the words and deeds of netizens from the source through legal means, the bad online criticism will never be cured.
