We are currently in discussions with YouTube to find a swift resolution. Both sides are working closely to clarify the facts, and we will do our utmost to restore the channel as quickly as possible.
Additionally, given that repeated hacking attempts have been made on Taemin's YouTube channel, we will take strong legal action, including filing a report with the police.
