BIGHIT MUSIC, the management company of global K-pop phenomenon BTS, has revealed fresh legal initiatives to protect the rights of its members.
In a statement issued on April 28, the company revealed its intensified measures to counteract a recent influx of orchestrated campaigns intending to defame and malign BTS.

BIGHIT MUSIC has reported a concerning surge in malicious activities aimed at defaming, humiliating, and spreading rumors about BTS members.
These actions, deemed serious infringements on the artists’ rights, have prompted the company to enlist the support of an additional law firm to bolster its legal tactics.

BIGHIT MUSIC reiterated its unwavering dedication to pursuing these issues with utmost seriousness, affirming its refusal to entertain leniency or settlements.
The full statement reads:
“Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC.
We wish to update you on the legal proceedings being taken to protect BTS members’ rights.
It has come to our attention that organizational efforts aimed at tarnishing and slandering the artists have escalated in recent weeks. Furthermore, malicious attempts to defame, humiliate and ridicule the artists or spread rumors and groundless information have become excessive.
