K-pop company SM Entertainment has denied claims that two members of one of its groups, NCT, used drugs and paid for sex while in Japan. The rumours, having originated in Japan, emerged on South Korean message boards yesterday and caused the company’s share price to fall by more than 8%. The agency said that the “sensational rumours” are “entirely false and constitute criminal acts that severely damage the artists’ reputations”. It added that it plans to take legal action against the people who posted the claims.
