When entering or leaving Korea, many people flock to the airport, posing a great risk to the safety of artists, fans, and airport passengers.
For the sake of order and safety at the airport, we ask fans to refrain from: - Obstructing the movement of artists at the airport
- Attempting excessive physical contact with artists
- Recklessly taking photographs in areas of the airport where photography is prohibited
Please refrain from doing so. Also, buying and selling aviation information is illegal. Recently, there have been many cases of people selling airline tickets and boarding information.
The airline employees involved were also investigated and arrested. We ask fans not to participate in the selling of artists' private information.
Finally, stalkers will be restricted from participating in artist-related events.
In order to protect the victim, stalkers from multiple prefectures have been reported, and police are currently investigating the matter. However, please note that we cannot announce the details in real time in order to facilitate smooth investigation.
We will continue to work hard to protect our artists. Thank you.
