The fan had allegedly been caught using the professional-grade camera multiple times during the concert, a violation of the venue’s strict no-recording policy, especially with such high-quality equipment. Despite multiple warnings and requests from security personnel to hand over the device, the fan reportedly refused, believing the threats of police involvement to be a bluff.

Recording at K-Pop concerts with professional equipment like DSLRs is often prohibited to protect the artists’ copyrights and maintain privacy. Thus, it’s not uncommon for fansites — dedicated to capturing high-quality content of their idols – to find themselves in precarious situations when attempting to flout these rules.
always the damn fansites
