Why is BIGHIT MUSIC Taking Legal Action Over TXT Soobin Rumors? Agency Issues Warning Ahead of Comeback

BIGHIT MUSIC has announced strong legal action against malicious rumors and allegedly false claims targeting TXT leader Soobin, warning that those responsible will face consequences without leniency or settlement. The statement comes as the K-pop group prepares to release its ninth mini album next month.

On Thursday, Oct. 22, the agency addressed the controversy through TXT’s official social media accounts, confirming that it had been monitoring posts circulating on overseas social media platforms and online communities. The situation reportedly gained further attention after a man known as an influencer in China made additional claims about the singer.

Although BIGHIT MUSIC did not disclose specific details about the allegations or identify the individual, it emphasized that protecting Soobin’s reputation and rights remains a priority.

BIGHIT MUSIC Addresses Allegedly False Claims About Soobin

In its official statement, BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed that it had identified posts containing information about Soobin that it considers false and malicious.

“We have recently confirmed that false information and malicious rumors about our artist are being indiscriminately spread on overseas social media and online communities and have been carrying out the necessary measures and responses internally,” BIGHIT MUSIC said.

The agency also explained why it had initially avoided making a public announcement about the situation.

“To prevent rumors and malicious posts that differ from the facts from being unnecessarily spread again through an official statement, we had refrained from making separate announcements or comments,” the agency said.

However, the company believes the situation has now escalated to a point that requires a stronger response, particularly with TXT‘s comeback approaching.

“However, we have judged that malicious rumors and posts aimed at defaming the artist ahead of the comeback have reached a serious level. We will take additional measures to protect the artist’s rights.”

Agency Vows Legal Action Without Leniency or Settlement

BIGHIT MUSIC has made clear that it intends to pursue legal measures against individuals responsible for creating or distributing content it considers defamatory.

“Posting and spreading malicious posts is a clear criminal act that seriously damages the artist’s character and reputation,” the agency continued.

The company confirmed that it is collecting evidence from domestic and international platforms as part of its response.

“We are currently collecting evidence of related posts on domestic and overseas platforms, and we make it clear that we will take strong legal action without any leniency or settlement.”

The agency also emphasized that its response would extend across different online channels rather than focus on particular websites or social media services.

“As the artist’s personality rights are being seriously infringed, we are responding strictly to malicious posts regardless of the channel, including social media and online communities,” the agency stated.

It added, “We will continue to respond firmly to all illegal acts that infringe on the artist’s rights under a zero-tolerance principle and do our best to protect the artist and prevent similar damage from recurring.”

While the statement outlines the agency’s intentions, BIGHIT MUSIC has not announced specific lawsuits or legal outcomes related to the controversy.

TXT Prepares for November Comeback With ‘PERFECT STORM’

The announcement comes ahead of TXT’s upcoming musical return. The group, comprising Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai, is scheduled to release its ninth mini album, “PERFECT STORM,” on Nov. 16.

With the comeback approaching, the agency’s statement underscores its commitment to protecting its artists during an important promotional period.

BIGHIT MUSIC has not provided further details about the claims circulating online, and the allegations should not be treated as established facts. For now, the company has reiterated its intention to take firm legal action against conduct it considers defamatory and harmful to Soobin’s rights.

As TXT prepares for its next release, the agency’s warning sends a clear message that it intends to address malicious online activity through legal channels rather than allow the situation to continue unchecked.
