SEOUL, Aug 9 \u2014 A woman in her 20s has been arrested after allegedly attacking the entrance of K-pop powerhouse YG Entertainment’s headquarters with a golf club in a dramatic incident caught on camera.<\/p>\n
Police detained the woman at about 9pm on Thursday outside the company’s headquarters in Hapjeong-dong, western Seoul, according to The Korea Herald.<\/p>\n
Footage of the incident subsequently spread across social media after a fan who had been filming a dance video nearby captured the confrontation.<\/p>\n
The footage shows the woman running towards the YG building carrying a golf club before repeatedly striking its glass entrance doors.<\/p>\n
She appeared poised to swing the club several more times before a bystander intervened and restrained her until police arrived.<\/p>\n
YG Entertainment confirmed that an incident had taken place but offered few further details.<\/p>\n
“We understand that she was handed over to the police. It is difficult for us to confirm any further details,” a company official told The Korea Herald.<\/p>\n
Police are now investigating what prompted the alleged attack and the circumstances surrounding it.<\/p>\n
The incident quickly triggered speculation among K-pop fans online, including unverified claims that the woman may have been a Blackpink fan unhappy with what some supporters regarded as insufficient group-focused celebrations ahead of the quartet’s 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n
There has been no confirmation of those claims, however, and police have not publicly established a motive for the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEOUL, Aug 9 \u2014 A woman in her 20s has been arrested after allegedly attacking the entrance of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[18722,44,18724,18725,18723,18721],"class_list":["post-48028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-alleged-attack","tag-golf","tag-headquarters","tag-korea-herald","tag-western-seoul","tag-yg-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
