SEOUL, Mar. 15 (Yonhap) -- K-pop powerhouse SM Entertainment is looking forward to inking a business agreement with the Korean-based law firm Sejong in order to protect the rights of its artists.

The upcoming business agreement will be the first step to the agency’s tentatively named “Kwangya 119” website, which will feature a reporting service as well as the current means of collecting evidence for unlawful acts via mail reports and self-monitoring. The agency will in earnest respond to illicit activities with the law firm Sejong.

“We plan to deal with every illicit activity related to our artists with zero tolerance and agreement,” the agency announced Wednesday.
