Legal action against YouTuber Sojang

BigHit Music, along with BTS members V and Jungkook, filed a lawsuit last year against the operator of the controversial YouTube channel Sojang. The YouTuber, also known as Park, has a history of defaming K-pop artists, including Kang Daniel, IVE’s Jang Wonyoung, and Aespa, by spreading false and malicious content.

Call for fan support 

BigHit Music encouraged fans to report any violations of BTS members’ rights, including malicious posts or IP infringement, through the HYBE Artist Rights Violation Report Website (protect.hybecorp.com).

"To ensure that fan reports are effectively used in legal actions, we recommend submitting full-screen screenshots from a PC or full-page print files (PDF) rather than mobile screenshots. Additionally, please ensure that the URL, username, content of the post, and date of the screenshot are clearly visible in your submission, as such information is critical for legal proceedings."

The statement concluded with BigHit Music expressing gratitude to BTS fans for their continued support and love.
