A woman in her 20s was apprehended on Thursday evening following an alleged assault on YG Entertainment’s headquarters in Seoul with a golf club, according to The Korea Herald. Police apprehended her outside the company’s offices in Hapjeong-dong, western Seoul, around 9pm. Footage of the event was widely shared on social media after a fan recorded the confrontation while filming a dance video.
The footage depicts the woman running towards the YG building with a golf club, striking the glass entrance doors several times before a passerby restrained her until police arrived. YG Entertainment acknowledged the incident but provided limited information, stating that the woman had been turned over to the police and declined to elaborate further.
Police are currently probing the incident, examining the woman's motivation and the circumstances leading to the attack. Speculation arose on K-pop fan forums, with unverified claims suggesting the woman might have been a Blackpink fan disappointed with the lack of special recognition for the group ahead of its 10th anniversary; however, neither the claims nor the police's assessment of her motives have been substantiated.
