BTS Agency takes legal action against 'Malicious' online trolls

[Teletubby 151,153]

In a statement published to online fan HYBE (formerly known as Big Hit Entertainment) says it filed criminal complaints in a South Korean court for defamation and insult against online commenters "who engaged in repeated posting or spreading malicious replies and writings exceeding the boundaries of socially-acceptable expression of opinions on online communities, blogs, and social media" about its artists.

Unlike in the U.S., where defamation and libel are civil matters and truth is an absolute defense, defamation can constitute a criminal charge in South Korea, even for a true statement. BTS Agency in a statement also references South Korea's Criminal Act, which sanctions imprisonment or a fine for insulting another person in public.

They regularly initiates this kind of legal action, even encouraging fans to use its legal email hotline to submit information regarding "malicious" posts about its artists.

The agency stated :
