There have recently been repeated instances of people visiting locations related to the artist’s scheduled activities or travel, such as filming sets and airports, when the locations were not officially announced, along with instances of people following the artist and his staff as they move between locations.

In the case where such acts compromise the artist’s safety and privacy or disrupt the carrying out of his work, it is our policy to gather relevant evidence and take the legal action necessary depending on the incident. Please be advised that in the case of repeat or severe invasions of privacy, we may take action without a separate warning.
This announcement was made for the sake of everyone’s safety, including the artist and the fans, so we ask for your generous understanding.
