I-Land, on which BTS made a guest appearance.
The suit was filed in California last Wednesday (April 14) by a Florida-based individual named Bryan Kahn, who the filing says “is engaged in the business of creating and producing television series and audio music”
Kahn claims that his idea for a similar show was “stolen” to create
I-Land.
Also named as a defendant in the suit is CJ E&M America, the US-based subsidiary of South Korean Entertainment giant CJ E&M, with which Big Hit created the show.
I-Land, executive produced by Big Hit founder and CEO Bang Si-hyuk, was a reality K-pop talent series that ran from June to September last year and which aimed to find the next K-pop stars.
