On March 31, KST, BIGHIT MUSIC released a lengthy statement addressing their recent legal actions against those violating BTS’s rights and security. The statement first addressed the ongoing conflict with the malicious YouTube channel Sojang (also known as Taldeok Camp).

As you may have seen in the media, the first-instance court has ruled that “Taldeok Camp,” a so-called “cyber wrecker” YouTuber, is liable for damages amounting to 76 million KRW. “Taldeok Camp” has filed an appeal since, and we are actively responding in the appellate process. We remain committed to ensuring that “Taldeok Camp” is held fully accountable for the illegal actions committed against our artists.

The notice then stated that an individual had committed a serious criminal act against BTS, including stalking, at the end of 2024. The agency moved quickly and filed a police report. The perpetrator was caught in the act by the authorities and subsequently made to face legal prosecution.

At the end of last year, a serious criminal act, including stalking, was committed against our artist, prompting an immediate action on our part. We filed a report to the police, and the perpetrator was arrested in flagrante delicto, subsequently detained, and prosecuted.

BIGHIT added that the perpetrator was sentenced by the court at the beginning of this year. They were fined ₩10.0 million KRW (about $6,790 USD).

Earlier this year, the court sentenced the perpetrator to a fine of 10 million KRW.

While BIGHIT MUSIC didn’t specify which BTS member was the victim in this incident, the fans were both alarmed at the growing violation of the group’s privacy and reassured by the agency’s initiative to stop perpetrators from getting away with it.

Meanwhile, at the end of last year, a woman was investigated by the police for stalking BTS member V. You can read more about it here:
