Staff Member’s Violent Altercation With Alleged Fan Triggers Major Consequences

A shocking video from a recent public P1Harmony photocard event is making the rounds on X (formerly known as Twitter) for all the wrong reasons. The video has also forced the group’s agency to take drastic action to prevent a similar situation from happening in the future.

The boy group’s agency, FNC Entertainment, decided to schedule a photocard distribution event on the day of their SBS Inkigaayo recording. The event was public and led by two of the members, Jongseob and Jiung. The P1Harmony stars stood among fans and distributed photocards to those present.

At first it was all fun, with multiple clips of the members seemingly enjoying themselves while interacting with fans making their way to X (formerly known as Twitter).

While the idea was well-received by fans due to how close they got to the members, everything went wrong when one alleged fan failed to comply with the staff’s instructions.
In a video that has now gone viral online, the staff and the alleged fan — who some are accusing of only being there to take pictures of the two stars and later sell them to fan sites — can be seen having a violent physical altercation.

Soon, the boy group’s company also spoke up about the event. Due to the shocking altercation, they decided to drastically stop all public photocard distribution events led by the members in the future.
[Notice] 금일 SBS 인기가요에서 멤버 포토카드 배부 이벤트 진행시 본인이 P1ece임을 주장하며 스태프의 통제를 따르지 않고 촬영을 강행하고 스태프에게 욕설과 폭행을 가하는 일이 발생했습니다. 안전상의 이유로 당분간 공개 방송 현장에서 멤버가 포토카드 배부하는 이벤트는 진행되지 않을…

At today’s SBS Inkigayo, during the photocard distribution event, there was an incident where an individual claimed to be a P1ece (official fan), refused to follow staff instructions, forced their way into filming, and verbally abused and assaulted a staff member.
Due to safety concerns, member-led photocard distribution events will no longer be held at public broadcast sites for the time being.
We ask for your understanding, P1ece.
— FNC Entertainment via X (formerly known as Twitter)
Fans have been understanding of the decision, though many are not happy that one person’s behavior had to lead to this.
Thank you for putting artists and staff safety first!
