NewJeans' agency asks fans to refrain from giving them gifts, letters at airport for safety reasons

NewJeans’ agency asked the group's fans to refrain from giving letters and any form of gifts to the idols at the airport, citing safety concerns. 

ADOR music label addressed their supporters in a Weverse notice released on Friday, April 5. According to the agency, there have been “dangerous instances” recently during the group’s arrival and departure, including large crowds.

“Many dangerous instances have occurred recently during NewJeans’s departure and arrival, such as a large crowd gathering at the airport. Giving presents or fan letters during a congested situation with heavy human traffic may lead to dangerous accidents, requiring extra caution,” ADOR stressed. 

They added that fan letters can only be sent through NewJeans' fan club managers during open music shows or in-person fan sign events and via a designated PO box.

They added that the group will only “receive letters brimming with your precious, heartwarming love for them and will not receive any other forms of gifts, including support.” 

The agency also reminded fans that all gifts and fan letters dropped or sent using undesignated methods will not be delivered. 

“We ask for your generous understanding and cooperation for the safety of fans and NewJeans. ADOR will continue to strive to create a sound fan culture and protect the safety and rights of our artists,” they concluded.
