South Korean JYP entertainment touted the new girl group ITY, but the member Lia was involved in a bullying suspicion in February, a netizen blew himself up on the forum "I am a victim of bullying by a well-known female idol born in 2000", implying that the meaning is obvious, and soon netizens pointed the head to ITZY member Lia. In this regard, JYPE filed a complaint of defamation to the whistleblower, but the police recently convicted him of the crime. On the 2nd, JYPE appealed again, expressing its dissatisfaction with the content of the judgment, and on the 15th, the big move issued a statement saying that it "requested a new investigation".

There are many idols, actors and other stars in the South Korean showbiz circle at the beginning of the year, which was exposed to the black history of campus bullying, and in February, a female netizen in her 20s also broke the news on the Internet, with the title "I am the victim of the bullying of a well-known female idol born in 2000", explaining that the female idol borrowed money and did not pay it back, or instructed other students to exclude her under no reason.
In this regard, JYP Entertainment first took action through legal channels, but the police recently believed that the whistleblower was only stating what he had experienced, and it was difficult to see that the text was written to defame the LIA, so the judgment of reputation damage was not established.

Unsatisfied with the verdict, JYP Entertainment issued a statement on the 15th, stressing that "we do not recognize the articles on the Internet as facts, that is, the non-surrender of the verdict made by the police does not mean that Lia acknowledges the meaning of the violence on campus", so they will propose a new investigation to the police, hoping to inform everyone of the truth through a more in-depth investigation, "There must be no unjust victims, but at the same time there can be no victims who have been victimized by revelations that are not facts, or who have been distorted."
