Using another person’s citizen registration number is a serious criminal offense in Korea, and those caught could serve up to three years of jailtime or a 10 million won (~$10,000 USD) fine.
Below is is the statement that JYPE made on 2PM’s official fancafe.
“After announcing on February 25th that Jaebeom would be no longer a part of 2PM, a few netizens started to attack the six members by saying inappropriate things and spreading rumours about them. We have talked to the six members to figure out how to deal with the problem, but decided that we need to understand the fans who have been notified of something that they cannot easily accept. The members said that they will handle their personal feelings better in future and be warmer in their approaches to the fans.
Some have however illegally obtained personal information about the six members including their citizen registration number and have been distribution and misusing those information. In order to protect the members, we had no choice but to approach the police for the six members on this matter.”
We would like to thank the fans who are supporting the six members in a time like this.”
