Hi.
This is GREAT MUSIC.
Our company regularly takes legal action against the perpetrators of
malicious activities related to BTS, including defamation, personal attacks,
sexual harassment, dissemination of unfounded information and ill-intentioned practices
critical. We would like to provide an update on these activities.– GOOD MUSIC
They filed more complaints against people who made BTS the target of hate, especially an account that repeatedly spread malicious rumors about them in various online communities. BIGHIT MUSIC used a combination of evidence gathered by ARMY and the company’s own resources in the legal proceedings.
We recently filed additional criminal complaints against publications with
personal attacks and slander also using new information provided by fans
as collected through our monitoring initiatives.We found several defamatory messages containing false information about
artists on platforms inside and outside Korea. We also found that a
specific cartel spread the same malicious rumor in several
platforms and filed a criminal complaint against the cartel after bringing together all
repetitively loaded messages.– GOOD MUSIC
They revealed that the company follows a process when responding to trolls. This includes monitoring suspicious accounts and collecting evidence from fans before bringing haters to the proper authorities. Because of this, the company was able to bring the worst of them to the prosecution, where they will be prosecuted accordingly.
We currently follow our legal response process which monitors and collects evidence on malicious posts for 365 days and then includes it in the complaint. Active reports from our fans have been a big help in our efforts to monitor malicious posts. We would also like to share with you that after a thorough police investigation,
we were able to identify the suspect and the case was forwarded to
the prosecutor’s office.Thanks.
