A few hours ago, the agency SM Entertainment issued a statement responding to RIIZE‘s Anton dating rumors in order to stop the strong defamation the idol was suffering on social networks after new photos appeared, causing great controversy among fans.
The alleged new photo of the idol holding hands with a misterious girl went viral on social networks, reaching the ears of his company. On March 13th, SM posted a declaration denying the rumors and ensuring they would take legal action.
They started the statement by saying, “There continues to be false misinformation about RIIZE members, as well as malicious comments that attack, insult, and harass“, and assured that these actions are crimes.
