Big Hit sued Mr. A, the author of a viral post containing defamation, insults, sexual harassment, false facts, and malicious slander against BTS on three occasions in December and March 2019++
Mr. A, who has been writing malicious posts about BTS for a long time, was sentenced to a total of 4 million won in fines for three criminal cases at the Seoul Eastern District Court on July 30 and September 1.
One of them is a fine of 2 million won. Article 311 of the Penal Code provides that "a person who publicly insults a person shall be punished by imprisonment for up to one year or imprisonment or a fine not exceeding 2 million won."
Big Hit has been steadily responding to the authors of malicious posts about BTS since 2018. If the accused continues to operate the account even after being investigated by the police or creates a new account and writes malicious posts, Big Hit is suing additional parties.
In November 2018 and June 2019, four of the cases that took legal action against the publishers of malicious posts about BTS were fined for defamation and insults in four other cases besides Mr. A.
