Dex’s Agency Issues Statement Against Malicious Comments

The statement emphasized that Kick The Huddle Studio would actively monitor suspected malicious comments, and if instances of slander or sexual harassment persist, they would pursue legal measures.

“We are taking strong action against cases of slander, false information, sexual harassment, personal attacks, defamation, and malicious comments related to our creator Kim Jin Young (Dex), impersonation of our agency and our associates, that are being spread on social media by exploiting anonymity,” the statement read.

The announcement comes amid a broader controversy surrounding the promotion of the Japanese manga and anime “Made In Abyss”, in which Dex and other celebrities faced criticism for endorsing content deemed disturbing and problematic by some viewers.

Dex previously addressed the issue during a press conference for MBC’s “Adventure By Accident” Season 3. “Please do not worry too much,” he had said. “I believe that the issue was caused by differences in perspectives, as we all have lived different lives and have different experiences.” 

“I have lived a well-grounded life up until now,” Dex continued. “But what I considered unproblematic may still be viewed as problematic by others, and so I will make sure to be cautious in that regard from now on. I will continue to live a grounded life, while making adjustments as not to concern others, including my fans who were worried about me.”

Despite the controversy, Dex has experienced increasing popularity, propelled by his appearance on “Singles Inferno 2”. He has become a rising YouTuber and established himself as a notable TV personality, featuring in popular shows like MBC’s “Adventure By Accident”. The notice to take legal action also underscores the seriousness with which Dex and his agency are approaching online harassment and defamation, aiming to protect Dex’s reputation and well-being in the face of unwarranted attacks.

Dex has finally spoken up about a recent controversy. The “Single’s Inferno” star addressed the backlash he is facing after people discovered that he openly admitted to watching the controversial anime “Made in Abyss”!

Dex Addresses ‘Made in Abyss’ Endorsement Backlash

The cast and crew of MBC’s “Adventure By Accident” season 3 recently attended a press conference, where YouTuber and TV personality Dex addressed a recent online controversy surrounding his recommendation of the Japanese animation series “Made in Abyss”. The “Single’s Inferno” star faced criticism after endorsing the R17+ (in the United States) anime, which has been a source of controversy due to its graphic content, including violence and scenes raising concerns about child exploitation.

“Please do not worry too much,” Dex said. “I believe that the issue was caused by differences in perspectives, as we all have lived different lives and have different experiences.” 

“I have lived a well-grounded life up until now,” he continued. “But what I considered unproblematic may still be viewed as problematic by others, and so I will make sure to be cautious in that regard from now on. I will continue to live a grounded life, while making adjustments as not to concern others, including my fans who were worried about me.”

Why is ‘Made in Abyss’ So Problematic?

“Made In Abyss”, created by Akihito Tsukushi, unfolds a narrative centered around a young girl named Riku and her companion, Reg, as they navigate the perilous pit known as the Abyss. While the series has received acclaim for its fantasy and adventure elements, it has equally faced backlash for its portrayal of graphic violence, torture, and provocative scenes involving underage characters.

The controversy surrounding the anime sparked discussions about the appropriateness of recommending such content, especially considering its sensitive themes. Dex’s endorsement drew attention to the ethical considerations surrounding content recommendations, particularly when it involve potentially problematic material.

The press conference provided Dex with an opportunity to address the concerns raised by the online controversy. The incident serves as a reminder of the responsibility influencers and personalities have in being mindful of the content they endorse, considering the potential impact on their audience and the broader cultural discourse. As discussions around content choices continue, it highlights the need for individuals in the public eye to approach such matters with sensitivity and awareness of the potential implications.
