In light of the immense success of his role as Ryu Sun Jae in the tvN drama 'Lovely Runner', actor Byun Woo Seok is facing various challenges that come with his transition to superstar fame.
On May 30 KST, Byun Woo Seok's label Varo Entertainment issued an official statement to lay out safety guidelines for fans gathering at the actor's public and private schedules.
The label relayed on this day,
"Hello. This is Varo Entertainment.
First, we would like to express our gratitude to all the fans who love actor Byun Woo Seok, and we would like to share some important guidelines regarding recent visits to the artist's schedule locations.
Recently, due to large crowds gathering during the artist's activities, disorder and safety concerns have risen. For the protection of our artist and to foster a more mature fandom culture, we provide the following guidelines.
First, during non-public schedules, unauthorized visits by some fans have caused significant damage to both the artists and the organizers. Therefore, we kindly ask that you refrain from visiting unofficial schedule locations except for publicly announced events.
During public schedules, to prevent accidents caused by crowd congestion, we earnestly request that you refrain from actions that may endanger the safety of both fans and the artist. This includes actions such as closely approaching the artist, handing over letters and gifts directly, and any behavior that could lead to safety concerns. To prevent any accidents, in the future, please refrain from direct delivery to the actor; instead, hand over letters or gifts to the manager. If possible, please send letters and gifts to the company's address, and the management team will ensure they are delivered to the artist.
Additionally, we strictly prohibit following the artist's vehicle after schedules, unauthorized visits and filming in private spaces such as their residence, and illegally obtaining personal information. We would like to inform you that such actions will result in strict legal action.
Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your sincere love for the artist, and we will strive to ensure the safety of everyone, including the artists and fans.
Thank you."
