HYBE launches online portal for reporting artist rights violations and copyright infringements

HYBE introduces a new portal for fans to report malicious posts and protect the rights of K-pop artists.

HYBE, a prominent entertainment agency managing top K-pop groups like BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, SEVENTEEN, NewJeans, and ENHYPEN, has launched a new online portal aimed at protecting artists' rights. 

On September 23, the company announced the integrated portal, which allows fans to report defamatory posts and copyright infringements concerning their favorite artists. According to HYBE, this platform will enable quicker and more organized responses to such violations.

Previously, HYBE's subsidiary, BIGHIT MUSIC, which manages BTS and TXT, had a dedicated email hotline for reporting these issues. The new online portal replaces the existing system, consolidating all reporting channels into one unified platform. 

In their statement, HYBE reiterated their commitment to taking legal action against malicious content and copyright violations, ensuring such cases are dealt with strictly.

HYBE emphasized that the company’s internal real-time monitoring, coupled with fan reports, will continue to be key in safeguarding their artists’ well-being. 

The agency thanked fans for their ongoing support and urged them to use the new portal to help protect their artists' rights, emphasizing that this remains the company's highest priority. 

HYBE operates multiple labels, including BIGHIT MUSIC, ADOR, and Source Music, which manage many leading K-pop acts.
