It is time to protect artists' rights — the eradication of illegal distribution is urgent.

Recently, BTS's SWIM Fans are heavy-hearted as news of illegal CD sales spreads. The blatant distribution of illegal merchandise and albums on platforms other than official channels goes beyond a simple fandom issue; it is a serious infringement on artists' legitimate copyrights and portrait rights. Such repeated illegal distribution undermines the rights of creators and causes significant harm to fans who consume honestly. Above all, I believe that strict sanctions and legal measures must follow to ensure that the sweat and passion poured into artists are properly respected. It is time for all of us to raise our voices so that the love of fans can be expressed in a just manner.
