On Sunday, April 28th, the corporation decided to speak out over these speculations, stating the accusations are “completely unfounded“. While BIGHIT MUSIC said, “The company views these actions as severe violation to the artists’ rights and will respond decisively“.
Some experts even said that these accusations against BTS would come as a retaliatory response from the ADOR label, which is involved in a major dispute with HYBE due to alleged plagiarism by their artist NewJeans to debut the new girl group ILLIT under another subsidiary.
