South Korean boy band BTS’ agency BigHit Music has taken the legal route to protect its members - RM, Suga, Jimin, Jin, V, J-hope, and Jungkook. The agency took to Weverse and posted a statement citing organisational efforts aimed at the artists to tarnish and slander their image. 

The statement read, "Hello. This is BigHit Music. We wish to update you on the legal proceedings being taken to protect BTS members` rights. It has come to our attention that organizational efforts aimed at tarnishing and slandering the artists have escalated in recent weeks. Furthermore, malicious attempts to defame, humiliate and ridicule the artists or spread rumours and groundless information have become excessive."
