BIGHIT MUSIC has once again reaffirmed its commitment to protecting BTS from malicious acts by providing an update on its ongoing legal actions.
Update on Legal Action on Malicious Acts Targeting BTS
On March 31, the agency released an official statement in English, addressing its legal proceedings against defamation, privacy violations, and other harmful acts targeting the group. This follows a previous statement issued in September 2024, where the company detailed its proactive measures to safeguard BTS’s rights and well-being.
“As a result of the previous lawsuit, the identities of multiple individuals responsible for malicious posts have been identified, and investigations have been conducted. Some of the defendants have been fined, while others have had their cases forwarded to the prosecution, with investigations ongoing,” the statement read.
“A few are currently undergoing trials,” it continued. “We remain committed to ensuring that those responsible for malicious posts are held accountable and face appropriate penalties.”
“We deeply appreciate your unwavering love and support for BTS,” it added. “BIGHIT MUSIC will continue to ensure that the rights of our artists are fully protected.”
The agency has been relentless in its pursuit of legal action against individuals and groups responsible for spreading false information, engaging in defamation, and violating the privacy of BTS members. BIGHIT MUSIC continues to monitor malicious activities closely and take firm legal action without leniency against perpetrators.
Additionally, the company has been actively combating scams and fraudulent activities that seek to exploit BTS’s immense global fanbase. In September, BIGHIT MUSIC also warned fans about an increase in phishing attempts, impersonations, and unauthorized events falsely associated with BTS. These scams not only deceive fans but also pose risks to their personal information and financial security.
BIGHIT MUSIC urges ARMYs to stay cautious, report any suspicious activities, and trust only official sources for BTS-related news. The agency also remains steadfast in ensuring a safe and respectful environment for BTS and their fans worldwide.
