A recent video from a public photocard event featuring the K-pop group P1Harmony has gone viral, prompting concern and immediate action from their agency, FNC Entertainment. The footage, widely circulated on X (formerly known as Twitter), depicts a disturbing altercation between staff and an alleged fan, raising significant safety concerns.
The event, held on the same day as the group’s SBS Inkigayo recording, was intended as an interactive experience, allowing fans to collect photocards distributed by members Jongseob and Jiung. Initially characterized by a positive atmosphere, the situation escalated when one individual reportedly disregarded staff instructions, leading to a physical confrontation that alarmed onlookers.
As clips of the incident spread online, the reaction from fans was swift, with many expressing disapproval toward the alleged fan’s behavior. They emphasized the importance of adhering to staff guidelines to ensure the safety of both the artists and attendees.
In light of the disturbing events, FNC Entertainment announced that they will suspend all public photocard distribution events led by members for the foreseeable future. The company confirmed via their official account that the incident involved an individual claiming to be a fan, who refused to comply and subsequently assaulted a staff member.
Fans have largely supported the agency’s decision, highlighting the need for safety at such events while expressing disappointment that a single individual’s actions have led to increased restrictions. Many have voiced their hope that those responsible will face appropriate consequences, advocating for a safer environment at future gatherings.
