Big Hit Music (hereafter Big Hit), the agency of BTS, is drawing attention by posting a notice related to the criminal prosecution by netizens. 

On the afternoon of March 13, fans entered the concert hall ahead of the start of the group 'BTS' 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - SEOUL' concert held at Jamsil Main Stadium in Songpa-gu.

Big Hit posted a notice on the fan community platform Weverse on March 31. In the notice, Big Hit said, "We are taking regular legal action against creators of malicious posts such as defamation, insults, sexual harassment, spreading false information, and malicious slander against BTS. We will inform you of the progress in this regard.” 

Big Hit said, “We have recently submitted a number of complaints to the investigative agency based on reports from fans and evidence collected through self-monitoring. We will inform you about the case separately as follows.” 

First of all, Big Hit said, "We have sued the person accused of damaging the artist's reputation and spreading false information by maliciously weaving rumors about BTS for defamation and obstruction of business."

In the case of obstruction of business, according to Article 314 (1) of the Criminal Act, imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine not exceeding 15 million won is possible. 

“We received a report on social media, community, DC Inside, YouTube, as well as a review section of a consumer product brand that spread false information with a serious delusion and sophistry about the artist, and sued the suspect for defamation.” the agency added.

Big Hit said that legal action against suspects of malicious behavior is being taken regularly and that there is no agreement or leniency for them. 

Big Hit said, "The information from fans is very helpful for our company to take legal action. In the future, we ask for your interest and active reporting through Big Hit’s legal response account.”

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
