BIGHIT Music: the fight continues
Earlier this month, on September 11, BIGHIT MUSIC issued a strong warning to fans regarding the growing number of scams and fraudulent activities targeting BTS’s immense fan base. These scams have taken various forms, such as phishing attempts, identity theft, and unauthorized events, all aimed at exploiting BTS’s popularity for personal or financial gain. The company urged fans to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to such schemes.
Throughout 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC has actively pursued legal action to safeguard BTS from defamatory actions and harmful misinformation. The agency has provided regular updates to fans, reflecting their dedication to protecting BTS members from threats both online and offline. These lawsuits not only focus on preventing scams, but also target individuals or groups who spread harmful rumors or false information about the group.
The decision to involve the judicial authorities demonstrates the seriousness of the problems in question. In the digital age, public figures like BTS are also increasingly vulnerable to organized campaigns of defamation, harassment and disinformation. These efforts seek to tarnish the group’s reputation and challenge its global success. By pursuing legal measures, BIGHIT MUSIC is also sending a clear message that it will not tolerate any attempts to damage BTS’s image or undermine their achievements. The agency remains committed to ensuring that justice is done and that the integrity of the group is maintained.
