The members of the popular K-pop group THE BOYZ' Sunwoo and a staff member were attacked by a sasaeng fan at the group's dormitory on November 9. This shocking incident has raised serious concerns regarding the safety and privacy of the group members. The incident led their agency, IST Entertainment, to take legal action and reiterate their zero-tolerance stance on such behaviour.
Sunwoo and Staff Attacked by Sasaeng Fan It all happened when Sunwoo was returning to the dorm after a busy schedule. As he exited the elevator, the stalker, who had been hiding in the emergency stairwell, approached him. Recognising the danger, Sunwoo immediately alerted a staff member, and the two confronted the intruder together.
Unfortunately, the confrontation quickly escalated, with the stalker becoming physically aggressive. During the struggle, the staff member was struck multiple times while attempting to detain the fan until the police arrived at the scene. The police subsequently arrested the stalker on charges of trespassing and assault.
The fan is currently under investigation. Following the attack, both Sunwoo and the staff member sought medical attention at a nearby hospital. They underwent examinations and treatment for any injuries sustained during the altercation.
More about fans' incident In addition to this incident, IST Entertainment revealed a series of other troubling occurrences in recent weeks. The statement reads, "Recently, we discovered a tracking device on the artist’s vehicle and identified intentional damage to another vehicle’s tyres. We have filed police reports and secured CCTV footage to prevent any recurrence.
" IST Entertainment stated in their statement, "These actions are clear illegal acts that cause mental and material harm. We are responding with a zero-tolerance policy and will take firm legal action." Fans have expressed their deep concern about the safety of THE BOYZ members, urging for more robust security measures.
Later, as per Koreaboo, the K-pop idol reacted to the incident and took to a fan messaging platform, "This is the first time something like this has happened, so honestly, I was very shocked and mentally exhausted over the past few days while trying to keep up with my schedule. But seeing the kind and sincere support from Deobis made me think that, if something like this had to happen, at least it happened when I could see Deobis while promoting."
