In a comprehensive official statement released on September 17, 2026, BIGHIT MUSIC provided fans and the public with a detailed update regarding ongoing legal measures aimed at safeguarding the safety, privacy, and personal rights of their artist, CORTIS.
The agency outlined a firm zero-tolerance approach against a wide range of illegal behaviors, including physical trespassing, stalking during travel, the illicit trade of personal information, and malicious online harassment.
By pursuing formal criminal charges and taking active stance against leniency, BIGHIT MUSIC emphasized its commitment to protecting its artists from both physical and digital harm.
Serious Physical Privacy Violations and Legal Appeal Regarding Residential Trespassing
A primary focus of BIGHIT MUSIC’s report centered on severe physical privacy breaches and stalking incidents targeting the members of CORTIS.
The agency disclosed a specific, high-gravity incident that occurred around July 2026, in which two foreign nationals unlawfully obtained the private accommodation address of CORTIS through unauthorized social media channels.
Armed with this private information, the individuals attempted to enter and physically breached the residence where the members were staying.
Police officers were dispatched to the scene immediately and apprehended the two suspects on site.
During police interrogation, the perpetrators confessed to acquiring the location details through illegal online sales. Following the initial investigation, law enforcement referred both individuals to the prosecution office on charges of joint residential trespassing.
However, despite the clear nature of the offense, the prosecution ultimately made the decision not to indict the individuals, opting instead to issue a suspension of indictment.
BIGHIT MUSIC expressed strong opposition to this outcome, highlighting that residential trespassing and the unauthorized commercial trading of an artist’s private location pose direct, dangerous threats to physical safety.
Recognizing the gravity of such offenses, the agency confirmed that it is actively taking formal legal steps to file an official objection against the non-indictment decision.
BIGHIT MUSIC is requesting a thorough re-evaluation of the case to ensure that those who invade the physical living space of their artists face full criminal accountability, establishing a strong deterrent against future violations.
In addition to residential breaches, the agency detailed persistent safety issues occurring during airport transits and flights.
Stalking acts- such as illegally purchasing flight itinerary data, following members through airport terminals, attempting to approach or converse with resting members inside aircraft cabins, and improperly touching or handling in-flight meals intended for the group- have been documented.
BIGHIT MUSIC emphasized that it is aggressively compiling evidence against repeat offenders who violate basic fan etiquette and disregard security warnings on site, filing formal criminal complaints with law enforcement authorities.
Comprehensive Digital Monitoring and Uncompromising Legal Action Against Online Malice
Beyond physical security measures, BIGHIT MUSIC provided an extensive overview of its ongoing combat against online malicious activity directed at CORTIS.
The agency maintains a continuous, real-time monitoring network operating alongside direct submissions gathered through the official HYBE Artist Rights Violation Report portal.
Legal counsel regularly processes gathered evidence to build criminal complaints against individuals engaging in digital abuse.
The scope of punishable online offenses highlighted in the update includes the publication of malicious posts containing personal attacks, defaming comments, sexual harassment, targeted hate speech, and intentionally fabricated rumors intended to harm the group’s reputation.
Also, the agency specifically noted an increase in digital crimes involving deepfake image generation, where members’ visual likenesses are maliciously edited or synthetically altered, as well as the spread of deliberately clipped or contextually altered statements designed to mislead the public.
To combat these digital offenses, BIGHIT MUSIC reaffirmed its strict, non-negotiable policy regarding legal consequences:
“We would like to emphasize that we maintain a zero-tolerance policy regarding any acts that violate our artists’ rights and safety.”
The agency clearly stated that criminal complaints are being filed systematically against severe, persistent, or habitual offenders, irrespective of whether the perpetrators reside domestically or internationally.
Also, BIGHIT MUSIC explicitly confirmed that no settlements, out-of-court agreements, or favorable leniency will be granted under any circumstances to individuals who engage in malicious behavior against CORTIS.
Through these combined efforts- appealing inadequate judicial outcomes for physical trespassing, restricting flight and transit stalking, and pursuing strict criminal prosecution for digital defamation and deepfakes- BIGHIT MUSIC continues to establish a secure environment for CORTIS.
The agency concluded its update by thanking fans for their constant support and vigilant reporting, asking the community to continue submitting evidence through official channels to aid in ongoing legal proceedings.
