Aprink's company released a statement
Hello, this is Play M Entertainment.
On April 1, we filed an initial criminal complaint at Gangnam Police Station via Wonil Law Firm against an individual “Kim” for defamation by alleging false information and attempted coercion regarding our artist Apink’s Park Chorong.
“Kim,” who was Park Chorong’s childhood friend, recently contacted her in a threatening manner. Using Park Chorong’s situation of being relatively known to the public, “Kim” threatened to expose completely false claims such as violence and about her private life and coerced her to retire from the entertainment industry.
Park Chorong and “Kim,” who were close in the past, drifted apart due to a certain incident. Park Chorong admitted that there was an argument and dispute between another friend and “Kim” due to this incident, and she apologized for any uncomfortable feelings she may have potentially caused. In addition, Park Chorong corrected “Kim,” making the fact straight that she did not commit the violence that “Kim” claimed. She also willingly accepted the request to meet up with “Kim” as she honors their childhood friendship, and she worked to communicate by having communication channels open.
In this process, however, “Kim” continuously took back what they had said about the facts, suddenly canceled their plans to meet, recorded the phone call including Park Chorong’s sincere apology and sent it to media outlets with false information, and continued such obstinate behavior. This has caused severe emotional distress for Park Chorong, so it has reached a point where legal action regarding this matter is inevitable.
Hence, we reviewed the materials necessary for the process of filing legal complaints, and we announce our plans to take firm civil and criminal legal action for charges of defamation by alleging false information and attempted coercion.
We ask for your generous understanding for causing concern with a situation that is not positive. We express gratitude for the support of many people, and we will continue to do our best for the protection of our artists’ rights.

What the? So they just got into a fight. This isn't school violence. And the one who was fighting wasn't even Park Chorong. And Park Chorong even tried to speak nicely and met them but they just went there to record Park Chorong apologizing to threaten her. Shouldn't the company sue?

Huh? Isn't this person popular for her good personality? For real they're trying to touch anyone right now. If you're going to threaten someone, would you really pick the one that is the most hard to touch?ㅋ That's why you should never get swayed by old times, isn't this going to create such a mess later?

If Park Chorong's personality was really a makjang, she would've already been exposed. It's been 10 years alredy and her coworkers have nothing but nice things to say about herㅋㅋㅋ

Even if Park Chorong didn't have her personality, recording someone's apology to then threaten them is f*cking annoying
