IU faced trouble at the beginning of the year, with threats against her family; her management company has issued a statement.

According to information published on Koreaboo, fans are worried to hear that "the nation's little sister" IU has been facing serious threats for a long time.

According to an official statement from EDAM Entertainment, the management company of the singer born in 1993, several malicious individuals have repeatedly threatened IU and her family members, endangering their lives.

Specifically, the company stated that these individuals did not stop at sending anonymous messages, letters, or malicious comments on social media. Some individuals even appeared directly outside IU's apartment, visited her family's residence, and even loitered near the management company's headquarters to carry out threatening and aggressive behavior. Notably, in addition to threats, some individuals also engaged in blackmail, causing public outrage.

Given the seriousness of the situation, EDAM Entertainment has officially filed a lawsuit and is cooperating closely with the authorities. According to the announcement, those involved have been summoned for questioning and are being processed according to legal regulations. The company emphasized that investigations are still being conducted urgently and affirmed that they will pursue criminal charges to the fullest extent against anyone who threatens IU's life.

"We will not tolerate any actions that threaten the safety of our artists. Any individual who still intends to approach IU with malicious intent must stop immediately," EDAM's representative stated firmly.

Not only does IU face threats in real life, but she is also a victim of numerous acts of defamation, slander, and sexual harassment online. According to her management company, many account holders have been severely punished by the courts for insulting the singer's honor. However, many similar cases are still being received and processed.

Notably, EDAM Entertainment stated that it will pursue legal action against individuals overseas. In a public announcement, the company revealed that it has filed a civil lawsuit against a user on the Threads platform for defamation and spreading false information related to IU. "We are proceeding with the necessary procedures and contacting courts in the United States to request the disclosure of the specific identity of this user," the company stated.

In fact, this is not the first time IU has received death threats. In October 2023, someone sent a threatening letter to the singer. Immediately after receiving the information, authorities went to IU's home and workplace to investigate. After verification, the investigating agency decided to close the case, ensuring that there was no direct threat at that time.

At the time, IU's representative confirmed: "It is true that IU received a death threat letter while she was filming. The case was closed after authorities found no evidence of wrongdoing. However, we will continue to implement measures to protect our artist."

The company also revealed that they initially considered not disclosing this information for fear of causing panic among fans and creating further public uproar. However, after careful consideration, EDAM decided to make the matter transparent to prevent similar incidents from recurring and to send a strong deterrent message to individuals intending to harm the artist.
