BTS and BLACKPINK fans have shown great concern for their idols after V and Jennie‘s relationship was exposed on social media with intimate photos shared by a hacker. After several months of effort to inform agencies of this event, BIGHIT MUSIC finally made an announcement.
On Thursday, September 29th, the agency in charge of BTS posted on Weverse the steps to take to protect the boy group members. The agency said that it often conducts legal checks for malicious activities, defamation, harassment, and other actions that affect artists.
Be patient.
That's what we were talking about, it's not always the right thing to give public statements. pic.twitter.com/oP7DiVSSXw— 🗝 to the Magic Shop⁷ (@KeyToMagicShop) September 29, 2022
In addition, the agency referred to “a specific person” who spread malicious rumors about the K-Pop group, so many assumed that it was the account called Gurumiharibo, which was the one that shared the photos of Taehyung and Jennie. However, via Telegram he responded to the statement saying that he has not been contacted.

CAlso, I have not received any legal notice from anyone“.
“Furthermore, as I have already mentioned, if anyone wants to sue me for defamation and/or spreading lies, I will be ready to provide relevant evidence of my claims on behalf of the law, so that a fair and FAIR truth is revealed“.
“And, at the time the photos I shared were taken, Taehyung and Jennie were on these dates together. This is something I will repeat because it is the truth“.

Certain people also agreed with the hacker when saying that in effect, BIGHIT MUSIC usually makes this type of statement every quarter, however they also add that normally the agency does not mention “a specific person“
