Meditation company Dan World denied allegations of involvement with Hive, the agency of BTS, and announced legal action.
Dan World released the ‘Official Entry Trailer’ video on the YouTube
channel on the 2nd.
In the video, Dan World opened up by saying, “As the battle over the
truth between the agency Hive and Adore CEO Min Hee-jin continues, the
controversy over the involvement of the meditation company Dan World is
suddenly emerging.”
He continued, “Dan World Co., Ltd. clearly states that this controversy
over involvement is groundless and plans to take strong legal action
against acts of defamation, business interruption, and economic loss
caused by the indiscriminate spread of fake news slandering Dan
World.”
He said, “Dan World is not unrelated to Dangun’s founding ideology.
However, it is absolutely not a religion,” he said, adding, “I sincerely
hope that the BTS members who graduated from Global Cyber University
will not suffer any damage due to vain and false information.”
The 3-minute explanation video is titled 'Trailer', so it appears that
the position will be further revealed later.
As the battle continued between Hive and Min Hee-jin, CEO of its
subsidiary Adore, suspicions arose that Hive was connected to a
pseudo-religious group. Then, Dan World, which was designated as a
pseudo-religious organization, announced its position on this day.
Previously, Global Cyber University also said, “It is legally and
administratively separated from religious facilities or corporations of
specific organizations and does not operate religious facilities or
classes within the university.” “Nevertheless, some malicious netizens
say, ‘Global Cyber University is related to the corporation. “They are
causing confusion by spreading untrue rumors such as ‘It is a religious
university’ or ‘It holds classes on religious activities.’”
The school said, “We are collecting evidence to take strong legal action
against those who spread slanderous videos and malicious posts. “We will
not sit idly by and take strong legal action against posts that disparage
the university, its students, and its alumni with incorrect information,”
he warned.
