Recently, THE BOYZ’s agency, IST Entertainment, announced a strong response to illegal actions by sasaeng fans, drawing attention from fans and the public. The issue began with an incident where member SunWoo and staff were assaulted by a sasaeng fan, and a police investigation is currently underway.
IST Entertainment stated through the official fan cafe, “We are delivering our stance as the invasion of artists’ privacy and threats to safety continue,” and reported that unauthorized visits to offices and dorms, exposure of private schedules, spreading of malicious rumors, and excessive approaches at airports are recurring illegal acts. They emphasized that these actions are causing serious harm to artists, their families, and acquaintances.
Particularly on the 9th, an incident occurred where a sasaeng fan was hiding in the emergency stairs as member SunWoo was entering the dorm. SunWoo reported this to the agency staff, and the sasaeng fan was handed over to the police. During this process, SunWoo and the staff were assaulted and received treatment at a nearby hospital.
Additionally, the agency revealed that incidents such as GPS trackers being attached to artists’ vehicles and intentional tire damage have occurred. These incidents have been reported to the police, and the agency stressed that they will take legal action in accordance with a zero-tolerance policy.
THE BOYZ is a 10-member boy group that debuted in December 2017, gaining attention after winning Mnet’s survival program ‘Road to Kingdom.’ Recently, they successfully completed their third world tour ‘Generation Ⅱ.’ The agency plans to continue with legal measures to protect the rights and interests of their artists. Fans and the public hope these actions will play a significant role in safeguarding the safety and privacy of the artists.
