Some content from BTS's fifth studio album, "ARIRANG," was leaked via social media before its official release, prompting the agency to pursue legal action.

According to a report by U.S. music outlet Billboard on the 13th (local time), Big Hit Music (HYBE) has initiated legal proceedings against a user of X (formerly Twitter) who posted "ARIRANG" content without authorization. "ARIRANG" is a 14-track album released on March 20.

The report states that in early March, a user account on X uploaded portions of tracks, lyrics, and images from the album. The posts in question have since been deleted.

Big Hit Music has requested a subpoena from a U.S. court to identify the account owner. After securing the user's information, the company reportedly plans to file a civil lawsuit with a Korean court.
