BELIFT LAB is taking action to protect their artists. The agency has just issued a statement announcing that they will take legal action against ENHYPEN sasaengs who invade the idols’ privacy.
BELIFT LAB Announces Legal Action Against ENHYPEN Sasaengs
On September 5, BELIFT LAB, the agency behind ENHYPEN, issued a stern statement announcing their intention to take strong legal action against sasaengs—individuals who excessively invade the privacy of public figures. The announcement follows an alarming incident in which sasaengs illegally obtained and misused ENHYPEN’s personal flight information.
The situation occurred during ENHYPEN’s return from China. The sasaengs reportedly used the members’ personal information to register with the airline, enabling them to not only assign seats for the group members but also deliberately block any attempts to change those seat assignments. This direct and invasive action has raised serious concerns about the safety and privacy of the ENHYPEN members, prompting their agency to step in.
BELIFT LAB’s statement made it clear that they are committed to protecting their artists’ well-being and privacy. The agency stated, “We are taking strong measures against the illegal acquisition and sale of [ENHYPEN’s] flight information and will do our utmost to protect our artists.” They also reiterated their zero-tolerance policy towards actions that compromise the safety and security of their artists, warning that they will pursue legal action against anyone involved in such illicit activities.
The announcement is also a reflection of the broader issue in the K-pop industry where sasaengs frequently cross boundaries, putting idols’ personal lives and safety at risk. Fans and the public are also hopeful that BELIFT LAB’s strict stance will serve as a deterrent and provide ENHYPEN with the privacy and protection they deserve as they continue their global activities.
In related news, ENHYPEN also announced the “WALK THE LINE” tour, which is set to kick off with two concerts in Goyang, South Korea, on October 5 and 6.
