BigHit Music Takes Legal Action Against Malicious Posts Targeting TXT Amid "Severe Defamatory Rumors Ahead of Comeback"

BigHit Music, the agency representing the group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), has taken strong legal action to protect its artists.

In an official statement on October 22, BigHit Music announced the progress of its stern legal measures, stating, "We have recently confirmed the reckless dissemination of false information and malicious rumors regarding our artists across overseas social media and online communities."

The agency explained that while it had previously refrained from addressing false malicious posts to prevent the unnecessary spread of rumors, "We have determined that malicious rumors and posts intended to defame the artists ahead of their comeback have reached a severe level," explaining the background behind stepping up its legal response.

"Posting and distributing malicious content is a clear crime that severely damages the personality and reputation of the artists," the agency emphasized, adding, "We are currently collecting evidence on related posts across domestic and international platforms, and we will take strict action under a zero-tolerance policy without any leniency or settlement." It also asked fans to actively submit reports through the HYBE artist rights infringement reporting site.

Meanwhile, TXT, which has drawn the sword against malicious rumors, is set to make a comeback by releasing its 9th mini-album, "PERFECT STORM," on November 16.
