[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] JYP Entertainment, the agency managing the group DAY6, has announced legal action in response to privacy invasions against the group.

On the 28th, JYP Entertainment stated on their official website, "We thank My Day, who cherish DAY6, and once again request cooperation regarding the safety and privacy protection of our artists."

JYP Entertainment expressed, "Despite multiple notices regarding regulations to protect the safety and privacy of our artists, there have been continuous visits to locations where the artists’ private schedules take place or loitering nearby, exceeding normal levels, causing the artists to suffer extreme stress."

They warned, "'Repeated acts such as persistently attempting to approach against the explicit will of the other party, watching, following, or lurking and waiting' are rights violations punishable under current law. We are currently collecting evidence of excessive rights violations against the artists (such as CCTV footage near the company building)."

They added, "Regarding safety and privacy violations of the artists, if the acts are considered repeated by the same individual and the severity is excessive, legal action may be taken regardless of the number of warnings accumulated or blacklist application."

Earlier, DAY6 had suspended activities on the 10th due to psychological anxiety symptoms experienced by some members.

The following is the full official statement from JYP Entertainment

Hello, this is JYPE. We thank My Day for cherishing DAY6 and once again request your cooperation regarding the safety and privacy protection of our artists.

We have defined the following acts as blacklist criteria.

- Blacklist criteria acts: 1. Waiting for DAY6 near JYP headquarters, practice rooms, studios, or dormitories during undisclosed schedules 2. Following DAY6 (including their vehicles) to JYP headquarters, practice rooms, studios, dormitories, or other destinations 3. Chasing the personal movements of DAY6 members

Despite multiple notices regarding these regulations to protect the safety and privacy of our artists, continuous visits to locations where the artists’ private schedules take place or loitering nearby have exceeded normal levels, causing the artists to suffer extreme stress.

"Repeated acts such as persistently attempting to approach against the explicit will of the other party, watching, following, or lurking and waiting" are rights violations punishable under current law, and we are currently collecting evidence (such as CCTV footage near the company building) of excessive rights violations against the artists.

Furthermore, regarding future detected cases of safety and privacy violations against the artists, if the acts are considered repeated by the same individual and the severity is excessive, legal action may be taken regardless of the number of warnings accumulated or blacklist application.

We sincerely ask for the cooperation of My Day so that DAY6 can show a better side through comfortable daily life and rest.
