Ailee's husband, Choi Si-hoon, has warned of a strong response to malicious rumors spreading online. Earlier, Ailee's side also suggested legal action against indiscriminate malicious posts. Both the couple made it clear that they will not tolerate the spread of false information.
On the 10th, Choi Si-hoon posted an official statement from the The Alpha Law Firm on his social media. Choi Si-hoon's legal representative said, "Currently, false information and malicious slanders about Choi Si-hoon are being widely disseminated at a serious level on portal sites, online communities, and social media," and noted, "We are collecting evidence through constant monitoring and working with relevant agencies to identify the authors."
They added, "To protect our client, we will take all possible civil and criminal actions without delay against any acts of spreading false information, defamation, or insult."
Earlier, on the 7th, Ailee's agency, A2Z Entertainment, released an official statement saying, "We can no longer overlook the seriousness of the situation caused by malicious posts against our artist Ailee, and legal action is planned." They also warned that "there will be no agreements or leniency during the legal proceedings," emphasizing a firm response policy.
Ailee and Choi Si-hoon held their wedding on the 20th of last month at a location in Gangnam, Seoul. However, they have been plagued by various rumors since before their marriage. Notably, Choi Si-hoon mentioned the rumor of being a 'host bar alumnus' through his YouTube channel, expressing his frustration. He explained, "I am a nobody and an ordinary person, and I felt so unfair because it was my first experience like that," adding, "I quit all my part-time jobs when I started acting."
Ailee also expressed her struggles while appearing on the tvN STORY "Kim Chang-wook Show 3," saying, "My husband really works hard. He lives his life doing various jobs, but people think he is unemployed," and shed tears while sharing that she seems to be the only one working and living off her own money.
Recently, during the clarification process of the controversy surrounding 'Nuri's Romance' on Wavve, Lee Won mentioned Choi Si-hoon's name, reigniting the controversy. In response, Lee Won clarified, "Choi Si-hoon is not the CEO of the agency and has no direct connection," but he became embroiled in malicious rumors once again.
In this context, both Choi Si-hoon and Ailee warned of legal action against the spread of false information, indicating they will directly confront the malicious rumors.
