Girls' Generation's Taeyeon announced that she will be taking legal action against malicious comments.

On July 20, Taeyeon wrote on her Instagram, "I'm looking at all of you now. For a long while now, there have been many times where my family, acquaintances around me, and my fans have been deeply hurt due to severely malicious comments."

She continued, "There were a lot of people asking me to take legal action. And my fan site also actively gave me help. I got hurt too, but more than that my heart hurt so much seeing my people getting stressed."

She added, "After consulting my agency a few months ago, I've been collecting all the malicious comments and pictures. The legal process has begun, and I plan to add further action. If any of my fans also have documents, please send them to me so we can collect them. I'm sorry that you've had to feel the same pain as me all the time and I'm thankful to all of you for supporting me before anybody else. I thought I was sufficiently strong, but especially through these happenings, I think I should become even stronger. As we have always done, let's enjoy the party, Sones."
