TWICE has been one of the favorites of the crowd but not all were pleased. Recently, the popular Korean girl band has been receiving malicious comments regarding its members.

TWICE's agency, JYP Entertainment stated on Thursday that they will take legal action against those people who circulate false rumors and off- topic messages leaving sexual comments that are already harassing the members. These hateful messages are being spread via online communities and social media platforms.

"We have been monitoring vicious comments and rumors about Twice and each member of the group," the agency said. "We decided not to tolerate these posts anymore to protect the personal rights of our artists," JP Entertainment said as quoted by Korea Times.

TWICE was introduced in October 2015 and since then the Korean girl group has immediately chartered themselves as one of the best girl groups in the music industry. The group is just a bit over a year old but already has gained success and lately became as the only second girl band to possess three music videos that have 100 million views for each on YouTube.

According to Koreaboo, the girls will be harvesting the cream of their crop as their wishes will be granted following the received two awards for "Song of the Year" for their viral record-smashing "TT" including other record-setting hits. The girls finally got the vacation they long yearned for. Fans spotted the TWICE members at the Incheon International Airport catching a flight out of the country.

The pretty girls chose to take a vacation in Sydney, Australia as what they mentioned in TWICE's reality show, TWICE TV3.

Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment considers filing a lawsuit against the internet trolls who are harassing the TWICE members especially their costumes. These people create misunderstanding and conflict in chat rooms, forums, and other social media platforms. Offenders will be heavily punished by the powerful legal action that will benefit the members regarding their psychological health.
