Hello.
This is BIGHIT MUSIC.
To protect the rights of our artists, we regularly initiate legal proceedings against perpetrators of malicious activities targeting BTS, including defamation, personal attacks, sexual harassment, dissemination of false information, and ill-intentioned criticisms. Below is the summary of our key activities:
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. A few are currently undergoing trials. We remain committed to ensuring that those responsible for malicious posts are held accountable and face appropriate penalties.
As you may have seen in the media, the first-instance court has ruled that “Taldeok Camp,” a so-called “cyber wrecker” YouTuber, is liable for damages amounting to 76 million won (approximately $51,630). “Taldeok Camp” has filed an appeal since, and we are actively responding in the appellate process. We remain committed to ensuring that “Taldeok Camp” is held fully accountable for the illegal actions committed against our artists.
At the end of last year, a serious criminal act, including stalking, was committed against our artist, prompting an immediate action on our part. We filed a report to the police, and the perpetrator was arrested in flagrante delicto, subsequently detained, and prosecuted. Earlier this year, the court sentenced the perpetrator to a fine of 10 million won (approximately $6,800). We will continue to take a firm stance against any actions that threaten the safety of our artists, with no leniency extended to the offenders.
