THE BOYZ and their fans are facing a serious situation after member Sunwoo was attacked by a sasaeng fan, with the group’s agency, IST Entertainment, promising a “zero-tolerance” approach to all illegal actions.

On November 14, IST Entertainment released a statement addressing the increasing invasion of THE BOYZ members’ privacy and threats to their safety. The agency shared that there have been repeated cases of fans trespassing at places like the company building, stores, and even the members' dorms. They mentioned that sasaengs have been intruding on members' private schedules, spreading rumors, taking unwanted photos and videos at public places like airports, following their cars, and even illegally accessing personal information to contact them.

This behavior has been causing serious stress for the members and affecting their families and close friends as well.

According to IST, on the 9th, Sunwoo was assaulted multiple times by a sasaeng while he was handling the matter with the police. The person involved was arrested for trespassing and assault and is now under investigation.

After the incident, Sunwoo and his team went to a nearby hospital for treatment, with the agency making sure he is receiving all the care he needs.

Adding to the concerning news, IST also reported that a tracking device was found on one of the members' cars, and that someone had damaged the tire of another vehicle. They managed to respond quickly before any harm came to the artists during their schedules.

The agency has filed a police report and secured CCTV footage, emphasizing that these acts are illegal and cause serious harm to the artists and their team. IST stated, “We will strictly respond to any privacy invasions and illegal acts, following our zero-tolerance policy.”

Meanwhile, THE BOYZ recently returned with their ninth mini-album, Phantasy: PANDORA’S BOX, which sold over 500,000 copies in its first week. The album even topped iTunes charts in 12 countries, including Thailand, UAE, Russia, and Hong Kong, showing their growing international popularity.

Park Bo Gum is not just a talented actor — he’s showing he’s smart with money too!

The star of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다) recently made headlines after the value of his apartment jumped by a whopping 500 million won (about 370,000 USD) in just one year.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s real estate transaction records revealed on the 19th, the apartment where Park Bo Gum lives — an 84㎡ unit in Gyeonghuigung Ja-i Complex 2 in Hongpa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul — was sold for a record-breaking 2.54 billion won on March 21st. The unit is located on the 11th floor.

When you compare it to last year’s prices, which ranged from 1.95 billion to 2.05 billion won, that’s a massive increase of about 500 million won!

Gyeonghuigung Ja-i is known as a luxury apartment complex inside Seoul’s historic Four Great Gates area. It’s super close to popular spots like Gwanghwamun, City Hall, and Seodaemun Station on Subway Line 5 — making it really easy to get to hot places like Yeouido, Mapo, and even Gangnam through Line 3’s Dongnimmun Station.

It’s reported that Park Bo Gum moved there back in 2019 after leaving Mokdong in Yangcheon-gu, choosing Gyeonghuigung Ja-i mainly for its perfect location near his work spots.

Other units in the same complex have also been seeing crazy price jumps! A 59㎡ unit recently sold for 1.85 billion won (15th floor) last month, and a 101㎡ unit was sold for 2.73 billion won (7th floor) in February.

An insider from the real estate industry said, "Apartments near palaces will likely stay in high demand because of their historic meaning, the beautiful city surroundings, and great transportation."

Looks like Park Bo Gum definitely made a smart move with this one.
