In a recent move that has aroused conflicting reactions from fans, YG Entertainment officially announced that there will be no greetings with face to face in front of the YG building. The decision comes in response to complaints from local residents, citing discomfort and interruptions caused by the collection of fans in the area.
For years, the YG A Hapjeong building, Soul, was a well -known hotspot for fans who hope to glimpse their favorite idols. Greetings and occasional interactions – often spontaneous or programmed during special events – have become a loved tradition. These moments, in particular with artists such as Treasure, Babymonster or Blackpink, Akmu, winner They played a significant role in strengthening artists’ relationships.
However, YG Entertainment said that continuing these public meetings has become impossible due to problems in progress with the disorders of the neighborhood. Although the agency did not develop in detail, he underlined that the decision was taken into consideration for the local community.
The announcement aroused disappointment and frustration among the fans, above all given the reputation of YG idols to be particularly warm and caring during these rare greetings in person. Some fans have expressed concern online, expressing that the decision punishes both artists and fan who have made efforts to maintain respectful boundaries:
“From the airports to the YG building, the boys always do everything to greet us. Now this is also taken away.”
“It is not the greetings that are the problem: they are the few who do not respect personal space. Don’t punish everyone for that.”
While some Netizen have supported the move, recognizing the importance of respecting residential areas, others have asked for alternative solutions, such as areas of designated fans or scheduled meeting times that would have minimized the disintegration.
