BTS: BigHit Takes STRICT Action Against Those Spreading Rumours, Causing Harm To Members’ Families

BTS’ agency BigHit Music has taken a strict action against those spreading ‘malicious’ information against the K-pop idols. On Wednesday, the agency issued a long statement on Weverse and revealed that it has filed criminal complaints against those violating artists’ rights and causing harm to their families.

“Hello. This is BigHit Music. Our company regularly initiates legal proceedings against perpetrators of malicious activities related to BTS, including defamation, personal attacks, sexual harassment, the spread of groundless information, and ill-intentioned criticism. We would like to provide an update on these important activities. During this quarter, we filed multiple criminal complaints with law enforcement agencies based on evidence related to acts infringing on the rights of the artists, including defamation, submitted by our fans as well as collected through our own monitoring,” the statement read as quoted by Hindustan Times.

“In particular, we gathered ongoing evidence regarding individuals who repeatedly sent mails and packages to the artists’ residences, even causing harm to the artists’ families, and filed criminal complaints against them on charges of violating laws regarding stalking crimes (Act on Punishment of Crime of Stalking). The court has issued an interim restraining order, and a prosecutor’s investigation is underway. We remain committed to an upcompromising, zero-tolerance policy in addressing stalking crimes that infringe on the privacy and safety of our artists,” the statement added.
