Comedian Kim Sook has reported a woman to police for allegedly stalking her for 10 months, according to her agency IOK Company, Thursday.

"The woman has been consistently posting defamatory remarks online and recently even came to her house," an agency spokesperson was quoted as saying. "Kim felt this was life-threatening."

The company has applied for a temporary restraining order, reports said.

"This was to protect Kim," the spokesperson said. "The woman has also spread a groundless rumor that Kim has been monitoring her."

The agency said it could not reveal other details due to possible further damage.

"We will continue taking action to deal with vicious slander," the agency said.

Kim debuted in 1995. She is appearing in several TV shows, including MBC TV's "Where is My Home" and JTBC2's "Reply Night."
