Two foreigners who trespassed into the residence of the group Cortis (CORTIS) received a non-prosecution decision, while their agency Big Hit Music announced its intention to appeal the ruling.

On the 16th, Big Hit Music stated through its official fan community: "We are continuously monitoring and taking legal action against any acts that threaten or infringe upon the privacy and rights of Cortis members," revealing the recent progress of their legal response.

According to the agency, an incident occurred in July this year when two foreigners trespassed into Cortis's residence.

Immediately after the incident, Big Hit Music reported the two suspects to the police and cooperated with the investigation. It is understood that they admitted to illegally purchasing Cortis's accommodation address information via social media at the scene and entering without permission. Subsequently, the two were transferred to the Prosecution Service without detention on charges of joint residential trespassing and recently received a non-prosecution decision.

In response, Big Hit Music stated: "We take residence intrusions and personal information trading activities that pose direct threats to artists' privacy and safety extremely seriously," and added that it plans to file an appeal seeking further legal judgment on whether prosecution should proceed.

It further emphasized: "Visiting artists' residences or buying and selling their address information are clear criminal acts. We urge everyone, even out of mere curiosity, to refrain from unauthorized entry into artists' accommodations and residences."

Big Hit Music announced that numerous posts infringing on the personality rights of Cortis members have been identified, including malicious defamation, insults, personal attacks, dissemination of false facts distorting the members' words and actions, and sexual harassment.

The agency collects relevant materials through continuous monitoring of major domestic and international communities, portals, social media, and music streaming sites, as well as reports from fans. It stated: "We will take all possible legal measures against any acts that infringe upon the rights and interests of artists."

In particular, regarding repeated infringements of rights, it warned: "Regardless of nationality, we will respond strictly according to principles without any agreements or leniency."

The agency also addressed privacy violations and stalking incidents occurring at airports and on airplanes.

Big Hit Music requested that fans refrain from boarding the same flights as Cortis using illegally obtained flight ticket information, secretly taking photos and videos, delivering items to members resting onboard, or attempting physical contact.

It also cited problematic behaviors such as following artists' in-flight movement routes, waiting nearby, arbitrarily changing in-flight meals for artists and their accompanying staff, tracking entry/exit and boarding routes, and tailing them from arrival points to vehicles and accommodations.

The agency stated that it is gathering evidence against individuals who persistently engage in stalking despite repeated fan etiquette notices and multiple verbal warnings on-site, and will take necessary legal action.

Finally, Big Hit Music emphasized: "Going forward, whether online or offline, we will do our utmost to protect the rights and safety of CORTIS members."
