On June 24, KOZ Entertainment released a statement via Weverse addressing the false allegations and rumors surrounding their artist Zico and his involvement with the late Goo Hara.

What Happened to Goo Hara’s Property?

The controversy stems from the June 23 episode of SBS’s “Unanswered Questions,” which focused on the tragic death of Goo Hara and the subsequent robbery at her residence. During the episode, it was revealed that a safe containing several of Goo Hara’s old phones was stolen. Her brother mentioned that he had removed all valuables from the safe before the robbery occurred.

The show unveiled a facial composite of the suspect, who is estimated to be at least 5’8″ tall (in the range of 170-180cm) and in his late 20s or early 30s at the time of the crime. This composite has reignited speculation and controversy, with some netizens claiming the sketch bears a resemblance to Zico. These accusations have led to a surge of online attacks against Zico, further fueled by past rumors connecting him to the Burning Sun scandal due to his friendship with Jung Joon Young and the infamous “Golden Phone.”

KOZ Entertainment’s statement condemned these baseless allegations, asserting Zico’s innocence and announcing plans to take strong legal action against those spreading false information. The agency emphasized the emotional distress and damage to Zico’s reputation caused by these rumors and highlighted their commitment to protecting their artist through all necessary legal means.

This proactive stance by KOZ Entertainment underscores their dedication to defending Zico against defamatory claims and ensuring that the truth prevails. Fans and supporters of Zico have also rallied online, expressing their support and urging others not to believe unverified rumors.

As the situation unfolds, KOZ Entertainment’s firm response also aims to curtail the spread of misinformation and uphold Zico’s integrity in the face of unwarranted accusations.
