Big Hit Music Breaks Silence on V’s Private Messages in Ongoing Legal Dispute Involving Min Hee Jin
Amid the latest developments in the high-profile legal battle shaking the K-pop industry, Big Hit Music has released an official statement addressing the controversy surrounding private messages sent by V of BTS that were reportedly submitted as court evidence.
According to the agency, the messages in question were taken out of context and merely reflected empathy expressed during a private conversation — not an endorsement of any specific claims or statements made by Min Hee Jin.

“The artist’s messages simply expressed empathy in a private exchange and do not constitute agreement with any particular statements made by Min Hee Jin. The artist is also uncomfortable with personal conversations being used as court evidence without prior consent.”
The clarification comes after online speculation suggested that V had shown support for Min Hee Jin amid the escalating legal conflict. Big Hit’s firm response appears aimed at drawing a clear boundary between personal communication and public positioning.
Private Conversations Turned Legal Evidence
The revelation that fragments of personal messages were introduced in court has sparked heated debate over artists’ privacy rights. Industry insiders note that the use of such exchanges in legal proceedings — especially without explicit approval — raises serious ethical and reputational concerns.
Big Hit emphasized that the messages should not be interpreted as a political or professional stance within the broader corporate dispute. The company reiterated its commitment to protecting its artists’ rights and personal boundaries.
Damage Control or Strategic Clarification?
Observers believe the statement serves multiple purposes:
-
To distance V from any perceived alignment in the legal conflict
-
To reinforce the distinction between emotional empathy and formal agreement
-
To push back against the disclosure of private communications
As the lawsuit continues to unfold, the spotlight remains intense. With public opinion divided and every new detail dissected online, Big Hit’s latest statement underscores just how sensitive and complex the situation has become.
For now, both the legal proceedings and the public conversation surrounding them show no signs of slowing down.
