CRAVITY, a 9-member male idol group under Starship Entertainment, suffered physical contact damage by trespassers.
On the 3rd, Starship Entertainment announced its official position, saying, "Today, there was an unfortunate incident where an unidentified person A broke into our office building and made contact with our artist."
According to Starship, the office building was equipped with security facilities, but Mr. A broke into the building through an employee's access, and approached the CRAVITY member who was waiting inside and made physical contact.
The manager, who was with the artist, immediately reported it to the police and the police were dispatched, but Mr. A was reported to have not responded to the police officer's request to evacuate and accompany him and made a commotion in front of the company for a while.
After hearing the statements from both sides, the police reported that Mr. A was suspected and arrested him at the scene, and Starship reported the CCTV footage inside and outside the building to the police station in charge of Mr. A's trespassing and physical contact.
Currently, Mr. A is under investigation by the police, and Starship warns that "We strongly advise once again that visits to the office building and dormitory are strictly prohibited. In the event of such an incident, no lenient punishment will be followed."
Finally, Starship promised to do its best to protect artists so that such a situation does not recur in the future.
