JTBC (falsely) reports that BTS is seeking legal action against BTS

Article: 'News Room' BTS is discussing legal action against Big Hit "conflict over income distribution"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+1,288, -94] Big Hit must've made an unimaginable amount of money thanks to BTS but it looks like their greed knows no end

2. [+1,050, -58] What's going on...

3. [+882, -58] Money, money

4. [+200, -13] I'm not sure where this article is getting its information because Big Hit has said this was unfounded and BTS was at an awards ceremony a few days ago thanking Bang Shi Hyuk and Big Hit. They received legal consultation at the time of their contract renewal so why is that being seen as such a big deal right now? I don't know what law firm was involved but did they really just leak client information like this to the media??? Who would ever use such a law firm again ?ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+166, -7] Seeking legal advice with a law firm at the time of their contract renewal was a completely normal thing to do, and asking for advice again for income distribution matters is a right that the members have. Why is the media reporting it as if it's some problem?

5. [+107, -15] Wait, is the media really trying to act like BTS is causing trouble by seeking legal consultation when they actually sought it last year before their contract renewals?

6. [+87, -6] The legal consultation was sought last year, and all matters have been resolved, which is why they all renewed and are promoting just fine right now. The title is misleading and sounds as if the problem is ongoing, and it makes me question why 'News Room' chose the current timing to release it.

7. [+84, -4] JTBC is notorious for this type of news reporting. Report something first, fact check later, and ignore it if it isn't true.

8. [+68, -4] Come on, media, you know this is wrong, right? The legal consultation happened last year for their contract renewals.

9. [+53, -7] Where exactly did the 'News Room' even get this information? Big Hit is saying it's unfounded and their law firm isn't confirming any of it so?

10. [+53, -4] We are witnessing the magic of a legal consultation turning into legal action~

1. [+687, -55] Let me break this down for you. Last year, at the time of their contract renewal, BTS consulted a law firm to check if their income distribution clauses were fair. The media is now choosing to take that piece of information into the spotlight. Basically, there's nothing to worry about here. All we have to do is trust in what the seven members of BTS say and follow their words. Don't let the wave sweep you in.

2. [+384, -19] There's no legal action, it was a legal consult

3. [+400, -57] The fact that this is coming from JTBC doesn't make me trust it. They're going to be in a lot of trouble if it's found that they were making up lies about BTS.

4. [+267, -25] Big Hit, you better be treating BTS right

5. [+213, -17] Please don't put things in the news if you're not sure of the facts... Why is it that anything regarding BTS makes the media think it's okay to put things out without checking the facts first?

6. [+83, -3] This is basically a three part combination of problems with the law firm leaking private client information over a 'legal consult', the media choosing to put that in the news months after the fact to bait attention, and Big Hit for not giving the members enough belief that their contracts were fair, leading them to seek legal consultation in the first place.. ㅋㅋ

7. [+73, -1] BTS has every right to seek legal consultation over the discussion of their income distribution as members of this society. I'm not sure why the media is making that sound like it's a huge problem? JTBC, let's please start reporting the news with facts and not with the intention to bait attention.

8. [+55, -2] They sought legal consult, they were not there to prepare a lawsuit. Why put that out as if it's 'breaking news'? You realize you can be countersued for that?
