On the morning of June 22nd, the police were called to The Boyz dorm after staff spotted a group of sasaengs who had entered the building. The police managed to capture a portion of the group who were arrested and charged with a misdemeanor and Cre.ker Ent is planning on filing a lawsuit.
Here is what the manager of The Boyz fan club had to say:
“This is the fan club manager for THE BOYZ. Firstly, we wish to express our gratitude to the fans that have been sending THE BOYZ much support. However, despite us having informed everyone through official notices, there have been continuous instances where the boys have had their private spaces (the dorms, the agency, and salon) visited and where their vans have been followed, as well as have had their private schedules and personal spaces filmed. Hence, we are giving a warning one more time.
Despite the staff stopping (sasaengs) from visiting private schedules, they have been disturbing the events from being carried out as well as the boys’ transportation, and due to them having filmed such events, there have been financial damage to the contents of the events as well as complaints both internally and externally. Such damage has been continuously going on.
In addition, the members’ resting space has been filmed and even their dorm building, which should be a place where their personal life is protected, was entered secretly by the sasaengs, who waited for the boys and tried talking to them, even filming them, carrying out such acts of personal benefit that have been causing the artists and staff to seriously suffer physically and mentally.
At dawn today, sasaengs secretly entered the dorm building and waited. Upon discovering them, we made a report to the police who dispatched their officers and caught a portion of the sasaengs who had tried to escape. They will be punished for misdemeanor as we will be dealing with this according to the law.
Apart from that, we have given the CCTV footage of the sasaengs entering the building and taking photos, to the police, who are currently pursuing the matter. Upon confirming their identities, they will be immediately charged for fleeing and trespassing after transfer to the local police station. In addition, as the number of complaints from citizens has increased regarding obstructive actions in both day and night around the dorms, agencies as well as nearby roads (such as noise, smoking, drinking, and blocking the roads as well as filming artists and regular people), the police will be dispatching officers to the site to pursue additional matters.
After this announcement, any person that continuously causes such inconveniences through visiting private spaces (such as the agency, dorms, and salon) as well as visiting private schedules to film the event, will be banned from participating in all fan activities. In addition, they will not be given further warnings and we will proceed directly with collecting evidence such as CCTV footage and black box footage so as to deal with it by the law.
We hope that you will also stop actions that cause discomfort, such as visiting the artists as well as obtaining their contact numbers by illegal means and continuously calling or messaging them. Once again, we request that you do not carry out actions that benefit yourself by causing harm to others and we request your cooperation such that the artists are not harmed further.
We wish to thank THE B for reading this long post despite the bad news and we will put in more effort to ensure our artists’ safety. Thank you.”
I wish sasaengs would just leave idols alone. They are people before they are idols, no one seems to understand that.
