JYP Entertainment Apologizes for Excessive Identity Verification at DAY6 Fan Meeting

JYP Entertainment has issued an official apology following controversy over excessive identity verification procedures during a recent fan meeting for their group DAY6. On July 21, 2025, the company acknowledged the discomfort and inconvenience caused to attendees, stating, "We sincerely apologize to those affected by the identity verification process." The statement explained that while they aimed to distinguish genuine ticket holders from those attempting to illegally sell tickets, the process led to unnecessary requests for personal information, including sensitive documents like school records and family relationship certificates. JYP emphasized their commitment to protecting fans' privacy and ensuring that such incidents do not occur in the future. They also promised refunds to fans who were unable to enter the event due to these verification issues, with further details on the compensation process to be provided later. The fan meeting took place at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, where numerous attendees reported being asked for excessive personal information, including their resident registration numbers. JYP's response aims to address the backlash and restore trust among their fanbase.
