K-Pop fan club 'Team Bunnyz' raise 51 Million to fight against online trolls targetting idols; land into legal trouble
According to Yonhap News Agency, a group of anonymous fans who call themselves "Team Bunnyz" decided to take matters into their own hands when they saw their favourite K-pop group being cyberbullied online. Their solution? Launch a fundraising campaign to hire lawyers and fight back against online trolls. Sounds noble, right? Well, not quite. In just 8 hours, these mysterious supporters managed to raise an eye-watering Rs 4.2 crores (51.22 million Korean won) through a simple social media post. However, they forgot one tiny detail - to register their fundraising campaign with authorities, as required by Korean law. When Fan Love Meets Legal Reality The Seoul Jongam Police Station recently forwarded a Team Bunnyz representative, identified only as "Mr. A," to prosecutors for violating Korea's donation laws. Under Korean legislation, any organization collecting more than Rs 82 lakhs (10 million won) in donations must register with relevant authorities beforehand. The penalty for skipping this step? Up to 3 years in prison or fines reaching Rs 2.46 crores (30 million won). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Speak English, You Might be Eligible for Online MBA Courses in USA MBA Courses in USA | Search Ads Undo The whole controversy started when a concerned netizen filed a complaint through Korea's national petition system, arguing that the fundraising was illegal. After checking with Seoul city authorities, they discovered that Team Bunnyz had indeed failed to file the necessary paperwork before launching their campaign. What makes this story even more intriguing is how Team Bunnyz operates like digital-age vigilantes. They describe themselves as "professional experts from various fields including law, media, finance, culture, and arts who support the girl group". Yet, nobody has ever seen their faces at public events - they truly live up to their comparison to Robin Hood-like figures. The Puppet Masters Team Bunnyz isn't just any random fan group - they've positioned themselves as power players in the K-pop industry's most dramatic corporate battle. The group's former creative director, Min Hee-jin, even publicly thanked them during a corporate event, saying they "appeared like Robin Hood" to help her during difficult times. But their activities have raised eyebrows even within the official fanbase community. Some legitimate fans felt compelled to clarify to the entertainment company that "Team Bunnyz doesn't represent the entire fandom's opinion". This internal conflict highlights how passionate K-pop fandoms can sometimes splinter when unofficial groups take extreme actions. Their controversial activities extend beyond fundraising. Team Bunnyz was involved in organising a pop-up store event for an instant noodle brand that the girl group endorses, collecting personal information including names, phone numbers, and email addresses from fans - another privacy concern that sparked debate. When Fandom Culture Clashes with Reality This incident reveals the complex dynamics of modern K-pop fandom culture, where passionate supporters sometimes cross legal and ethical boundaries in their enthusiasm to protect their idols. While the intention to combat cyberbullying is admirable, the execution showcased how even well-meaning fan activities can spiral into legal troubles when proper procedures aren't followed. The case also highlights the growing influence of organised fan groups in Korea's entertainment industry, where anonymous collectives can mobilise significant financial resources and legal action within hours. It's a phenomenon that would be unimaginable in most other entertainment markets globally. As this legal drama unfolds, it serves as a cautionary tale for fan communities worldwide: passion for your favourite artists should never override legal compliance and transparency. After all, the best way to support your idols is probably not by landing yourself in court!

Riding high on the massive success of HanuMan, actor Teja Sajja is back in action, this time as Super Yodha in the highly anticipated film Mirai. Directed by Karthik Gattamaneni and produced on a grand scale by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under People Media Factory, the film promises a visual spectacle. The teaser and initial glimpses have already generated buzz, and now the makers have released the lyrical video of the first single, Vibe Undi.

Krishna Kanth's lyrics mix Telugu and English to capture both playful romance and vibrant emotion, perfectly aligning with the film's upbeat tone. Teja Sajja, known for his dynamic screen presence, impresses with stylish dance moves and electric energy. His on-screen pairing with Ritika Nayak adds to the charm, as their chemistry elevates the visuals, set in a sleek, futuristic urban backdrop.

The film is set for a grand theatrical release on September 5 in 2D and 3D across eight languages.
