TWICE has issued a firm warning regarding repeated invasions of the members’ privacy, signaling possible legal action if such behavior continues. On December 15, JYP Entertainment posted an official notice on the fan community platform FANS, stating that there have been ongoing incidents involving fans intruding into TWICE’s personal movements and non public schedules.
Growing Concerns Over Safety and Stress
According to the agency, certain fans have been repeatedly approaching the members during private or unofficial schedules. “These actions cause psychological stress and emotional burden for the artists,” the statement read, adding that the situation is especially concerning given the members’ frequent overseas travel and demanding schedules. JYP emphasized that such behavior not only disrupts the artists’ daily lives but also raises safety concerns.
Specific Cases of Privacy Violations
The notice outlined several concrete examples of problematic behavior, including unauthorized filming during vacations or visits to family homes, taking photos of family members or acquaintances traveling with the artists, repeated attempts to initiate conversation despite refusal, and physically obstructing the artists’ paths. The agency made it clear that these actions go beyond fan support and constitute violations of personal boundaries.
Legal Action on the Table
JYP Entertainment stressed that it is prepared to take strong measures if the situation does not improve. “If such behavior is repeated or if members continue to feel uncomfortable, we will take all necessary actions to protect our artists,” the agency stated, hinting at potential legal responses. The company also reaffirmed its responsibility to ensure that TWICE can continue their activities and rest in a stable and secure environment.
A Call for Responsible Fan Behavior
In closing, JYP appealed directly to fans, asking for understanding and cooperation. “We sincerely ask for your mature consideration so that the artists can focus on their work and personal time without fear or stress,” the statement concluded.
Ongoing World Tour
Meanwhile, TWICE remains active on the global stage. The group is set to continue their world tour ‘THIS IS FOR’ with an upcoming concert on January 10 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, as they meet fans around the world under more controlled and official settings.
