On Thursday, May 30, 2024, actor Byeon Woo-seok's agency, Varo Entertainment, released an official statement updating fans on the safety guidelines for the artist's upcoming schedules.

Actor Byeon Woo-seok's agency's statement on the safety and protection of the artist

Recently, Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon starred in a K-drama series, Lovely Runner, that took over the internet. Netizens couldn't stop talking about the show's plot, the actors, their chemistry, etc, and this naturally resulted in the popularity of both the lead stars. However, it seems that the benefits of this newfound fame may not be entirely positive for the actors.

As a result, Byeon Woo-seok's agency released a statement to protect the artist and his privacy, while also maintaining a safe environment for the fans to interact with the actor. The official statement included:

"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."

The statement also addressed the events that often unfold during Byeon Woo-seok's unofficial and private schedules.

"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."

They continued:

"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."

They also provided an alternative for fans who wished to send things to the artist and promised that the artist would receive the same. They further mentioned:

"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."
