In addition, acts of not following the guidance of on-site staff and bodyguards, leaving the designated area to enter the prohibited area (waiting room, parking lot, etc.), excessive disputes with other artists’ fans, abusive language/violation against on-site staff and bodyguards, impersonation of others for fan activities, photographing or recording outside of permitted space, buying and selling personal information of the artist, buying and selling aviation information such as flights and seats when IU enters and leaves the country, interfering with artist-related work.
