Big Hit Music, the agency of BTS, said it would take a hard-line approach to malicious posts and stalking crimes.
On the 29th, Big Hit Music said on the fan community Weverse, "We are continuously pursuing legal action against criminal acts such as defamation, insult, sexual harassment, and malicious slander that infringe on BTS's rights and interests." It added, "As of the second quarter of 2026, we are providing an update on our major legal actions."
First, it said that "a person who repeatedly posted baseless false claims about the artist on online communities was found guilty of insult and defamation by false statement, and received a suspended prosecution disposition on the condition of completing an educational program."
It also said, "We have filed complaints against those who posted malicious content related to BTS on domestic communities, music sites, and overseas social media channels, and we are also carrying out additional ongoing complaint procedures beyond our regular filings."
The agency stated, "We will track down malicious hate speech and organized fake news that try to evade punishment behind anonymity, and we will hold those responsible legally without exception." It added, "For all acts that cause mental suffering to the artist, we will take the strongest possible legal measures without any settlement or leniency."
