KIM TAEHYUNG Involved in Plagiarism Case Private Messages Used as Evidence in HYBE Trial!

Описание: On February 20, 2026, a report from Kyunghyang Shinmun rocked the South Korean entertainment industry by revealing new details in the legal dispute between Min Hee-jin and HYBE. Most shockingly, Kim Taehyung (V of BTS) was implicated after his private KakaoTalk conversations were presented as evidence in court.

How did casual messages between Taehyung and Min Hee-jin become legal artifacts? What exactly was the content of those conversations? And why did the court ultimately reject most of HYBE's claims?

The case stemmed from plagiarism allegations related to NewJeans' debut, as well as claims of internal pressure to create a male version of the concept. The names Pledis Entertainment, Belift Lab, and even Bang Si-hyuk's role in ILLIT's debut further complicated the situation.

However, Taehyung eventually issued a public clarification via Instagram, asserting that his comments stemmed from personal empathy, not legal bias. Fans reacted explosively, calling for Taehyung not to be dragged into a corporate conflict that was not his.

The court ruling even ordered HYBE to pay approximately 25.6 billion KRW to Min Hee-jin. An appeal has been filed, and this legal drama is far from over.

In this video, we will discuss:

The latest facts from the trial

The K-pop industry isn't just about the stage and the spotlight. Behind it are contracts, trillions of won valuations, and a battle for narratives that determine the future of its artists.

Watch until the end to understand the full picture of this case, which has now become one of the biggest conflicts in the Korean entertainment industry.
