Bighit Music, the management label behind global sensation BTS, has issued an urgent security advisory warning fans of sophisticated fraudulent operations targeting the group’s upcoming world tour. The alert comes as the highly anticipated ticket presale for the band’s first comeback concert approaches.
The label confirmed the discovery of multiple unauthorized websites impersonating official channels to sell counterfeit Army Memberships and tour tickets. These fraudulent platforms have no affiliation with Weverse’s official services, Bighit Music, or BTS, despite employing sophisticated deception tactics to appear legitimate.
“We urge extreme caution among our fan community,” stated the official advisory. “These unauthorized sites have no partnership or cooperative relationship with our organization whatsoever.”
The warning emphasizes that Bighit Music cannot assume responsibility for financial damages, identity theft, or personal information compromises resulting from interactions with these illicit platforms. The alert specifically addresses risks associated with unofficial membership registrations, ticket purchases, and data disclosure through non-official channels.
Official ticket access will follow a structured presale system prioritizing registered Army Membership holders before general public availability. All legitimate registration and presale processes must occur exclusively through the verified Weverse application, with ticket reservations restricted to authorized platforms listed on BTS’s official communication channels.
The cybersecurity warning highlights growing concerns about digital fraud targeting major entertainment events, particularly for artists with dedicated global fanbases like BTS’s ARMY community. Industry experts note such scams typically increase around high-demand ticket sales, exploiting fan enthusiasm and limited ticket availability.
