GMMTV’s Response to Defamation
GMMTV’s statement addressed individuals in Indonesia circulating misleading claims about Lego, a 19-year-old singer, dancer, and actor under its Riser Music label. These false statements, spread across social media platforms, have tarnished Lego’s reputation, leading to insults, hostility, and harm to his professional standing. The company demanded an immediate halt to the dissemination of such content, threatening “maximum legal action, both civil and criminal,” against those who fail to comply. This firm stance underscores GMMTV’s commitment to safeguarding its artists from defamation and cyberbullying.

Lego and LYKN: Rising Stars
Lego, born February 11, 2006, in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, is the youngest member and main dancer of LYKN, a five-member Thai boy group formed through GMMTV’s Project Alpha in 2022. Debuting with their single “May I?” on May 5, 2023, LYKN has gained international popularity, performing at events like GMMTV Musicon in Jakarta and Tokyo. Lego’s talents extend to choreography and acting, with roles in LYKN’s short film No Worries (2023) and the series Thame-Po: Heart That Skips a Beat (2024). The unwarranted attacks on his character threaten to overshadow his rising career and the group’s growing success.
