With the group BTS (BTS) making a comeback, BTS illegal goods are being sold without permission at large Chinese online shopping malls.

Seo Kyung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, said on social media on the 24th, "We are selling T-shirts and various accessories using the Arirang logo on Taobao and AliExpress. Above all, it is the biggest problem to sell illegal goods that use BTS' portrait rights without permission.

The photo released by Professor Seo also showed BTS illegal goods sold without permission at Chinese online shopping malls. T-shirts and accessories with the BTS performance logo are on sale.

Professor Seo pointed out, "It is clearly wrong to expose such fake products even if the shopping mall does not directly produce illegal goods but only provides platforms."

"It's a really pathetic act. It is impossible to make illegal goods and use them as their profit structure due to lack of illegal viewing. That's enough. He stressed that the act of "stealing" other countries' content will no longer have to be stopped.

Meanwhile, | held "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG) around Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on the 21st.
