BELIFT LAB has issued an updated set of fan etiquette guidelines for ENHYPEN’s fandom.
Hello.
This is BELIFT LAB.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to ENGENE [ENHYPEN’s fandom] for your generous love and support for ENHYPEN. We are providing this update on fan etiquette to ensure a healthy fan culture and to protect the rights and interests of our artists.
BELIFT LAB is currently taking strict measures, including legal action, against any behavior that threatens the safety of our artists. Please be aware that those who violate these fan etiquette rules may be restricted from participating in future fan events without prior warning to protect the artists, and that we may collect evidence and take civil/criminal legal action against those who engage in inappropriate or illegal acts.
In particular, although BELIFT LAB does not disclose artist flight schedules or any travel-related information, there have been repeated instances of individuals obtaining travel itineraries through illicit means, appearing at the airport, and obstructing or approaching the artists during their transit. Such behavior not only threatens the safety of the artists but also causes significant inconvenience and harm to other passengers using the airport. We ask that you strictly observe fan etiquette to ensure everyone’s safety and order at the airport.
Additionally, we are taking a zero-tolerance approach and responding strongly without leniency to protect our artists from anyone who uses abusive language or makes threats during fan events. Please carefully read and adhere to the fan etiquette guidelines below to avoid disadvantages resulting from inappropriate remarks or threatening behavior, such as exclusion from fan events.
