BTS' agency files additional criminal complaints against malicious posts towards the group - read full update

Seems like it is a bad day for all BTS haters! Sending out their routine message, updating fans about steps taken to legally protect the group, BIGHIT Music dropped quite a powerful bomb on all people posting malicious messages on social media.

And did you know one of them even made different IP addresses just to spread rumours? Well, not anymore since the agency has revealed details regarding additional criminal charges filed against such hateful messages all over the net.

"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. We would like to provide an update on these activities.

We have recently filed additional criminal complaints against postings with personal attacks and defamation using new information provided by fans as well as collected through our monitoring initiatives," the statement started off.

Shedding light on one such case, here's what BIGHIT had to say: "One poster uploaded postings containing insults against the artist using dozens of different IP addresses on DC Inside and we have been monitoring these types of malicious postings and filed criminal complaints against the poster for all the postings with malicious comments."

Considering how much ARMY had been worried about rumours and delusional information passing around, seems like it has all been taken care of legally.

"Moreover, we have found more defamation postings with 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," the statement continued.

Much to the delight of ARMY, the agency has even strongly stated that they will not opt for any settlements or show any form of leniency towards the accused. "The accused of an ongoing investigation recently attempted to settle the case but there will be no settlement nor leniency. We would like to stress that we will continue to initiate strict measures to ensure that these malicious acts are not repeated, and our policy of no settlement and no leniency remains in effect," they firmly remarked.

It is safe to say BTS sure does not come to play when it comes to defamation! What are your thoughts on the bold step taken to stop malicious content from being passing around about the group? Let us know
