BTS' Label Asks Fans for Help Protecting the Band From 'Personal Attacks'

The note came after the band announced a break to pursue solo projects (as featured in the video above), which their agency had to clarify did not mean they’re breaking up.

The company says that one poster uploaded posts containing “insults against [BTS]” using dozens of different IP addresses.

“We have been monitoring these types of malicious postings and filed criminal complaints against the poster for all the postings with malicious comments,” they wrote, adding they found “extremely malicious and delusional content” and initiated legal proceedings against the posters.

“The complaint we have filed includes platforms not mentioned in this notice and we would also like to inform you that we cannot reveal every detail of the content of the complaint to ensure a proper investigation.”

“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,” the label added.

They also noted there is no settlements, saying “the accused of an ongoing investigation recently attempted to settle the case but there will be no settlement nor leniency… our policy of no settlement and no leniency remains in effect.”

They urge fans to use an email hotline ([email protected]) to report any cases of abuse.
