A woman in her 20s was arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of damaging the entrance of YG Entertainment’s headquarters with a golf club, according to local media reports Friday.
Mapo police arrested the woman around 9 p.m. Thursday outside YG Entertainment’s headquarters in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul.
Asked about the incident, a YG Entertainment official confirmed to The Korea Herald that it had taken place but declined to provide further details.
“We understand that she was handed over to the police. It is difficult for us to confirm any further details,” the official said.
A fan filming a dance video nearby recorded the woman running toward the building with a golf club and repeatedly striking the glass entrance doors. The video quickly spread on social media Friday.
She appeared to raise the club several more times but was restrained by a bystander before police arrived and took her into custody.
Police are reportedly investigating the motive and circumstances surrounding the incident.
Unverified rumors claimed the woman was a Blackpink fan frustrated by what some saw as insufficient group-focused celebrations before the group’s 10th anniversary.
