The notice, uploaded on July 23, is as follows:

Hello. This is Swing Entertainment.

Firstly, we express our sincere thanks to the fans who have shown so much interest and love in X1.

We are writing this notice because there are situations occurring in which the artist’s safety is being threatened due to fans who are coming to places where official events in which they can participate are not being held.

In addition to threatening the artist’s safety, it is also an invasion of privacy to come to places where official events in which fans can participate are not being held or to chase after a vehicle. In addition, it can cause harm to other people who are not related, and it can damage the artist’s image. We ask you to recognize this.

We ask fans to abstain from activities, such as the following, that can threaten the safety of the artist or be an invasion of their privacy.

1. Chasing after the artist’s vehicle
2. Coming to their agency or dorm
3. Trying to touch the artist’s body or take their belongings
4. Impeding the artist from boarding a vehicle
5. Blocking the road at the agency or dorm and stopping the passing of pedestrians
6. Stopping vehicles driving by while filming the artist

We inform that you that following this notice, if you commit actions that threaten the safety of the artist or violate their privacy, we will take measures such as suspending fan cafe activity and restricting participation in music shows and events.

We ask for your cooperation for the artist’s safety and privacy in accordance with how much you support and cherish the X1 members. We hope that you will freely express how much you support the artist at official events that fans can participate in.

Thank you.
