BTS denied allegations of involvement in cult practices and Sajaegi (music streaming manipulation).
Big Hit Music, the agency of BTS, stated through the fan community Weverse on the 29th, "At the time in 2017, Big Hit Music was threatened by a partner company, and the culprit was sentenced to one year in prison for the charges of joint defamation and fraud."
Regarding the controversy over music streaming manipulation, the BTS side denied it, explaining that the inappropriate marketing activities mentioned in the culprit's defamation and threats were one-sided claims and that unconventional marketing is typically online viral marketing.
The court ruling at the time explicitly stated, "Money was embezzled under the pretext of streaming manipulation marketing." This fact has recently resurfaced and sparked controversy.
-If it was just regular viral marketing, why would they be threatened? They should make sense when they talk.
-Do they think the public are fools?
-If it's regular online viral marketing, why did they send 57 million KRW so desperately in response to the threats?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do they really think the public are idiots? ㅋㅋㅋ
-If it wasn't regular online viral marketing, then isn't it strange to be threatened and extorted for money?
-Ah...... They're really embarrassing themselves ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Pathetic.
-Hold a press conference.
-You should hold a press conference too.
-Are they saying the judge was wrong?
-If it was regular marketing, why did they give money when threatened?
-Why did they send the money then?
-How are they going to explain the verdict??? So, are they saying the judge made a mistake all this time?
-Who do they think they're fooling?
-Are they saying the judge lied or what?
