JYP Entertainment Responds to Controversy Surrounding TWICE Nayeon's Mother's Former Boyfriend

In the world of K-pop, controversies often arise and capture the attention of fans and netizens alike. Recently, TWICE member Nayeon found herself in the midst of a controversy surrounding her mother's former boyfriend. JYP Entertainment, the agency that represents TWICE, has now responded to the situation.

On September 19, JYP Entertainment addressed the controversy in an interview with Newsen. The agency made it clear that they had nothing further to say about the matter, as it had already been settled legally.

"We have nothing further to say as the judge has already ruled, and the matter doesn't affect our artist's activities." - JYP Entertainment

In addition to this statement, JYP Entertainment issued a warning to netizens who were engaging in malicious behavior towards Nayeon. The agency stated that they would take strong legal action against anyone who insulted or defamed the idol.

"But if there are speculative comments that defame or insult the artist, we will take strong legal action." - JYP Entertainment

The controversy surrounding Nayeon stemmed from a legal dispute with her mother's former boyfriend. He claimed to have lent Nayeon and her mother ₩600 million KRW (about $454,000 USD) in living expenses while Nayeon was still a trainee. He alleged that Nayeon had promised to repay him once she debuted as an idol. However, the court found that there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that the money was a loan.

As news of the ruling spread, netizens had mixed reactions. Some supported Nayeon and believed that justice had been served, while others expressed their doubts and concerns. To read more about the public's response to the controversy, check out the article below:
