JYP apologises for asking for fans' school records at DAY6 event
South Korean agency JYP Entertainment has issued a formal apology after reports emerged that attendees at a DAY6 fan meeting were asked to present sensitive personal documents – including primary school records – to verify their identities.
The fan event, 'PIER 10: All My Days', was held from July 18 to 20 in Songpa District, Seoul, and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the popular K-pop band DAY6.
According to social media posts on X, fans were asked to show a range of documents, including parents' IDs, family relation certificates, financial authentication and even school records, during the admission process. One attendee said that despite providing everything requested, including the name of their primary school teacher, staff continued to question their identity.
