On April 6 KST, Pledis Entertainment released a new official statement regarding the allegations, which also included a personal message made by Mingyu.
With the company's final statement, they explained that they thoroughly checked the facts regarding the allegations. The company directly contacted the people who posted the original posts on the allegations, and when they found out that there was a misunderstanding or something was not true, they would immediately report it to the media.
In addition, they were able to contact "B" through the one who wrote the online posts in relation to the incident in middle school. They checked the facts with the story with "B" for more than three weeks, and although there were some incidents that the two recall differently, they tried to find a common ground.
