Below is the full text of Poppin Hyun Joon's statement:

"These kinds of fake news stories should be caught and punished by law. It's not something I should just endure because of my fame. Even singer Hyunsook said, 'They should be caught and killed.'

Journalists, please report on the severity of fake news so that we can find ways to root it out. Fans, don't worry and continue to support me.

Firstly, I do not run a dance academy. Therefore, the content in these fake news stories is utter nonsense. Nowadays, even children get information and engage in various communications through YouTube. It's infuriating and upsetting that we have to waste energy on such bad people. I hope there will be legal measures to punish fake news and internet terrorists.

If anyone knows a way to catch these YouTubers or file a lawsuit, please let me know."

Poppin Hyun Joon's response highlights the growing issue of fake news and its impact on individuals, urging for stronger legal actions to prevent the spread of false information.
