Hello. This is SM Entertainment.

We would like to provide a conclusive statement on the issue regarding SuperM member Mark Lee.

First, we apologize for not being able to share our position more promptly.

After recent claims were made, we had checked with the artist himself and had taken additional procedures to verify the facts. In the process, we are confirmed that there is a discrepancy between what was posted and what we had checked with the artist.

To first explain what has been confirmed, it was said that the artist had impregnated a girl, but this is completely false.

There was a major misunderstanding caused by misinformation as the person they claim is the artist's girlfriend was actually his younger sister, Lee Minseo. We were informed that they were at the private hospital for her weekly appointment with the doctor.

And the artist's sister was clutching her stomach not because of contractions, it is actually because she was experiencing pain caused by menstruation.

So we are glad to announce that our artist is not into incest.

We kindly plead everyone to not fall for satire news easily. This would affect our artist's career negatively over a matter that was not stated with solid proof.

We would sue those who continue to spread false rumours about Mark Lee, as we don't tolerate such vile behaviour.
