Hello. This is BIGHIT MUSIC. To ensure the protection of CORTIS’s rights and interests, we are proceeding with legal action against unlawful acts targeting the artist, including the distribution of false information, malicious slander, defamation, insults, and sexual harassment. Starting in 2026, we will publish semiannual updates on the progress of these legal measures. Should you encounter actions that infringe upon CORTIS’s rights and interests, including the uploading of malicious posts, please report them through the “HYBE Artist Rights Infringement Reporting Site (protect.hybecorp.com)”. When submitting a report, we kindly ask that you include a full PC screenshot or a PDF file clearly showing the URL, username, post content, and date, as this will greatly assist us in pursuing legal procedures. Through our real-time monitoring efforts and reports received thus far, we have identified serious cases such as the creation and posting of deepfake images of minor members, the distribution of invalid false information regarding the artist’s achievements, violations of personal data, and acts that undermine the character and reputation of the artist and the artist’s family. Furthermore, we have identified instances in which CCTV footage capturing the artist was disclosed to third parties for purposes other than its original intent, and appropriate measures have been taken. With reports from COER, we will examine evidence collected in real time through comprehensive monitoring of online communities and portals—including DC Inside—as well as social media and music streaming services, and take appropriate legal action where applicable. In particular, individuals subject to criminal complaints will face strict legal consequences, with no settlements or leniency under any circumstances. Furthermore, as previously outlined in the “CORTIS Fan Etiquette” notice, we take very seriously any conduct that infringes upon the artist’s personal information or privacy, threatens the artist’s safety, or causes harassment. We once again make it clear that we will respond strictly to such actions, regardless of the individual’s nationality. BIGHIT MUSIC will continue to actively address any actions that infringe upon the rights and interests of our artists, and will make every effort to protect the rights and safety of the members of CORTIS. Thank you.
