A fan site has come under scrutiny for behaving aggressively towards a staff member at BABYMONSTER’s event in Thailand.
On June 27, 2024, BABYMONSTER made an appearance at the Flex Talk program in Bangkok, Thailand. The event attracted a large number of enthusiastic fans who gathered in the lobby area in anticipation of seeing the young girl group from YG Entertainment. However, things took a turn for the worse when a disagreement between a fansite and staff member turned into a physical altercation.

Despite a staff member from the Flex Talk show intervening with a reminder, a fan continued to stand and obstruct the view of others during the event. This resulted in an altercation between the angered fansite and the staff, causing a physical fight in front of hundreds of fans. Security personnel quickly intervened and removed the disruptive individual from the premises.
On June 28, ZEUS, a popular fansite dedicated to Ruka, released a statement on his X account. In the statement, Ruka apologized for his actions and expressed that he was unaware that photography was prohibited at the event.

Additionally, he expressed his apologies to fellow Ruka supporters and urged individuals to refrain from sharing any harmful remarks about Ruka or any other artists.
In a different tweet, the individual expressed their desire to personally apologize to the staff member who was attacked. They also specifically requested forgiveness from fans in Southeast Asia, acknowledging that this may be particularly hurtful for Ruka, who is still young.
I personally apologize for everything that happened to the staff, I apologize for what I did and hope to be forgiven by the staff.

“I’m sorry for the fans in Southeast Asia, I shouldn’t have hurt you, I hope I can get your forgiveness, I’m sorry, I’ll correct it, not because I hurt Ruka, she’s still a child, I’m very sorry.”

I didn’t create a fan site for other members, I hope you don’t attack the members, the error is mine, not the members. Sorry
