Fan Activity Etiquette and Penalty Notice (January 6, 2025)

Good day, we are Whyes Entertainment.

We sincerely appreciate the infinite love and support that many fans give to Paul Kim.

To promote a healthy fan culture for Paul Kim and fans both online and offline, we would like to provide guidelines for etiquette.

Please note that official sanctions and penalties will be imposed for violating these guidelines in order to protect the artist's privacy and everyone's safety. So, please make sure to understand the following:

 [Artist Privacy and Private Schedule Etiquette]

1. Prohibition of Visiting or Loitering in Private Spaces
It is strictly forbidden to visit, loiter, or wait at private spaces that could infringe upon the artist’s privacy, such as their home, company, recording studio, hair/makeup shop, accommodation, or restaurants (including lobbies, parking lots, etc.) before or after schedules.
- Please respect the artist's privacy and help ensure their rest and stability so they can perform in their best condition.

2. Prohibition of Visiting Unregistered Schedules
Visiting schedules not registered as official (e.g., private award ceremonies, undisclosed recordings, or rehearsals) is strictly prohibited.
- Unregistered schedules are kept private at the request of event organizers to maintain confidentiality and operational security. We kindly ask fans to refrain from visiting these locations.

3. Prohibition of Filming or Broadcasting at Airports and on Flights
- Filming or live-streaming in any form is prohibited within airport facilities (e.g., immigration areas, security checkpoints, baggage claim zones, duty-free shops, lounges) or on flights during overseas schedules.
- Such actions may inconvenience general passengers and staff and infringe upon the artist's privacy, and are therefore strictly forbidden.

[Online/Offline Etiquette]

1. Giving or delivering gifts to staff accompanying the artist (band/dancer, etc.) or company personnel is prohibited except for letters.
- All gifts, except for letters, are not accepted. You can only deliver letters to staff at the official "on the way home" greeting.

2. Stalking the artist or following them in the car they are riding is prohibited.
- Please refrain from throwing letters into the car.
- The street, roadway, etc. are spaces where major accidents can occur. Please refrain from disorderly behavior for everyone's safety. 

3. Acting unilaterally without following the directions of on-site staff and security personnel is prohibited.
- This is directly related to the safety of the artist, fans, and accompanying staff. Please cooperate to ensure the smooth operation of the site.

4. Entering a place where outsiders are not allowed (events, performances, public broadcasts, etc.) secretly or impersonating staff or personnel is prohibited. 

5.    Please refrain from any behavior that defames the honor of Paul Kim and fans both online and offline (public broadcasts, events, performances, SNS, communities, etc.).
- Please avoid writing divisive posts, criticisms, insults, restraints, etc. using accounts that reveal that you are a fan of Paul Kim.

- Please refrain from writing rumors, speculative posts, and posts that may cause misunderstandings.
