The management of the A+ list foreign boyband bribed the local National Assembly and 100 reporters to pass the bill, granting the band members special military exemption so they could continue milking their brand. It is amusing that, while the press posts daily articles about how the band contributes billions to the country’s economy, one of the member’s luxury apartment has been recently seized for refusing to pay for health insurance.

Currently, the management is under investigation for violating anti-corruption laws.

Big Hit responds to reports about BTS’ Jimin having his home seized

Big Hit has responded to reports concerning the reported seizure of Jimin’s home.

On Sunday, Korean news outlet Biz Hankook claimed that South Korea’s National Health Insurance Service took over the BTS member’s Seoul apartment on January 25. According to Soompi’s translation of the report, the temporary seizure was over Jimin allegedly not paying his health insurance premiums, even after receiving four notices via registered mail. The outlet then went on to report that Jimin eventually paid the premiums and got his apartment back this past Friday, April 22.

However, BTS’ management company has issued a statement saying the situation was an error on their part.

“Regarding this matter, the company is the first to receive all mail that arrives at the artists’ dorms, and in the process of relaying it to the artist, a portion of the mail was omitted by mistake,” Big Hit said. “Due to Jimin’s activities abroad starting at the end of last year, his extended period of rest, and his scheduled activities abroad after that, he was unaware of matters such as [his premiums] being overdue.”

Big Hit also said that when Jimin found out about the mistake, he paid off his premiums and the “situation has been resolved.” – Source
