JYP Entertainment then warned netizens that those who maliciously insulted or defamed Nayeon over the incident would be brought before the law.

But if there are speculative comments that defame or insult the artist, we will take strong legal action.

Previously, it was revealed that Nayeon had won a legal dispute against her mother’s former boyfriend, in which the former boyfriend alleged he had lent Nayeon and her mother ₩600 million KRW (about $454,000 USD) in living expenses during the time Nayeon was a trainee and that he had been promised the idol would pay him back once she debuts. The court found that although there was evidence of the money being given to Nayeon’s mother, there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that the money was a loan.
