News of illegal distribution of BTS albums... As a fan, I am so upset.

There is news that BTS's single CD 'SWIM' is being illegally distributed on the Chinese online shopping mall Temu.

This information was reportedly confirmed through reports from overseas ARMYs. It is said that pirated albums were being sold without permission at unofficial outlets, and some sellers even used paid advertisements on social media to promote them.

The 'Swim' CD is an album sold through designated official channels like Weverse Shop, so it is really upsetting that illegal copies are being blatantly distributed like this.

There were reports of counterfeit goods using the official logo without permission appearing during the last Gwanghwamun performance, and it makes me feel even worse to hear that albums are being illegally distributed this time.

I hope that the music and content created with such care and effort over a long period of time will not be used as a means for illegal sales by anyone.
I hope our ARMYs will make sure to purchase albums and merchandise through official retailers so that they don't suffer any losses.
