K-pop girl group EXID's LE said she will take legal action against online hate-mongers who violate her privacy.
She said through her Twitter account Tuesday that group members are experiencing a lot of malicious comments and one privacy violator had sent out a fake naked photo of her.
LE said it seems the person is a foreigner and although she has reported the SNS account, the offender keeps creating a new one. She said she is fed up with it.

The group is focusing on individual activities after two of the five members ― Jeonghwa and Hani ― did not renew their contracts with their agency, Banana Culture Entertainment, last May.
Recently, one of the remaining members, Hyelin, also left the agency and the label said the contracts of Solji and LE expire in six months.
EXID debuted in 2012 and rose to stardom after its dance performance video of “Up down” went viral in 2014. The group became a top-tier K-pop girl group with “Ah Yeah” and “Hot Pink” in 2015.
