They added, “We judge this incident as an act that seriously infringes on the artist’s honor, and in addition to the existing regular legal response, we plan to respond sternly by appointing an additional law firm separately.”
Furthermore, they said, “Currently, malicious posts targeting the artist are being collected as evidence through separate real-time monitoring and collection,” and “We would like to inform you that we will respond strongly to the suspects without leniency or agreement.”
Recently, widespread posts have circulated across online communities and social media alleging connections between HYBE and a specific meditation group. Furthermore, suspicions have arisen regarding the educational backgrounds of certain members of BTS and TXT, managed by Big Hit Music, suggesting deep ties to this group. Additionally, concerns have been raised about symbols associated with this group within the music or concepts of HYBE’s affiliated groups.
Moreover, seven years ago, the emergence of a verdict related to BTS’s marketing strategy sparked suspicions of chart manipulation. In 2017, an individual received a one-year prison sentence for involvement in joint extortion linked to marketing a BTS album.
Netizens have raised concerns regarding the language used in the verdict, explicitly highlighting a passage stating, “The transactions between the defendant and J Co., Ltd. were nothing more than past chart manipulation marketing. Moreover, the continued transfer of significant funds from a company identified as K, responsible for chart manipulation marketing at J Co, to a second defendant, a former collaborator, strongly suggests that defendant the first defendant may have been aware of the embezzlement disguised as chart manipulation marketing, even without direct communication.”
