“We confirm the leak did NOT originate from our staff. We’re investigating external partners and will pursue legal action against those responsible.”
The company doubled down, clarifying that Manager Moon had no access to the leaked materials and stressing there was “no contact with external individuals” based on personal ties. They urged fans to avoid spreading unverified claims or sharing staff members’ private details.
Protecting RIIZE’s Privacy
SM vowed to tighten security measures, promising:
🔒 Stricter control over unreleased content and schedules.
🛡️ Enhanced safeguards for artists’ privacy (dorms, undisclosed plans, etc.).
⚖️ Legal repercussions for anyone involved in future leaks or invasions.
