The agency of BTS and TXT, Big Hit Music, has issued a warning about impersonation and fraud acts using their artists’ names.
On the afternoon of August 16th, a representative from Big Hit Music posted a notice titled “Caution of Artist Impersonation and Fraud” on their social media account. Through this warning, Big Hit Music has addressed recent cases of artist impersonation that have occurred both online and offline.
Below is the full statement from Big Hit Music:
“Hello,
This is Big Hit Music.
Recently, there have been continuous cases of our artists being impersonated both online and offline to steal content, show off their friendship with artists, and make financial gains, so we would like to issue a caution.
Apart from information conveyed through official channels of the company and of the artists, we want to emphasize that there are no instances where artists or the company solicit content or propose transactions to specific individuals.
Please be aware that our company has no affiliation with acts that showcase personal connections with artists, solicit investment funds, or make financial offers. We kindly ask for your vigilance to avoid falling victim to such situations.
Thank you.”
It seems that impersonators have been sending messages to fans on social media platforms, demanding fundraising or investment funds. Thus, Big Hit Music issues a firm warning about artist impersonation.
