Is singer Tablo’s Stanford degree still an issue? Unfortunately, it still is. Law firm Kangho, Tablo’s legal representative, announced on Tuesday that Tablo will pursue legal action against some netizens

Is singer Tablo’s Stanford degree still an issue? Unfortunately, it still is.

Law firm Kangho, Tablo’s legal representative, announced on Tuesday that Tablo will pursue legal action against some netizens whom Tablo claims to have stretched the truth about his years at Stanford. Consequently, what used to be a fight online is now to take place at court.

Though this action is the strongest response Tablo has ever taken in the past three months, he is still careful in his fight. As much as he wants his privacy to be appreciated, he wishes to appreciate those of the anonymous. “Netizens will be granted a grace period for a week. We hope to exclude as many innocent people as possible” stated attorney Pyo Jong-nok, who is in charge of the case.

The significance of this dispute lies in the involvement of the Public Prosecutors. “Because the gravity of the offense of the netizens depends on facts, the prosecutors’ investigation is crucial and inevitable,” said Pyo.

However, looking at the continuing mess, a question remains: will the public then believe?
It’s not like efforts haven’t been made to prove his innocence. An alleged fellow classmate of Tablo has tried to prove his innocence through Facebook (social network like Twitter) but to no avail. The debate has continued even after Stanford released Tablo’s graduation certificate through its Twitter page.

“I hope the legal action will turn the case into a better direction,” Tablo said. More facts will be available after the grace period, during which netizens are encouraged to delete rumors and false statements online.
