[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] JYP Entertainment announced that it will take legal action against an overseas stalker who boarded the same flight as TWICE member Nayeon and caused a disturbance.

On the 1st, JYP stated on its official website, "Today, on the flight returning from Japan, an overseas stalker of member Nayeon boarded and continuously attempted to approach her, causing a major disturbance on the plane," adding, "Currently, Nayeon is under police protection due to this incident."

They continued, "Despite multiple warnings in the presence of the police to absolutely avoid approaching (the stalker), the stalker ignored them and raised their voice against JYP staff, attempting to cause a confrontation, continuing increasingly severe problematic behavior," and added, "We will immediately take all possible legal measures with the highest intensity."

Furthermore, they said, "We are also investigating circumstances regarding the illegal sale and distribution of the artist's flight information," and "We will definitely seek and implement measures to eradicate this issue based on this incident."

Earlier that day, TWICE returned to Korea through Gimpo International Airport after completing their schedule at Japan's 'NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.' However, it was reported that an overseas stalker boarded the flight with TWICE and attempted to approach Nayeon during the return trip.

The stalker reportedly caused a commotion on the plane by raising their voice.

Meanwhile, recently, a controversy arose when a foreign netizen suspected of being Nayeon's stalker posted a video presumed to show stalking behavior on online communities and social networking services (SNS).

Regarding this, JYP stated on the 9th, "We are aware of the suspected stalking incident," and "We are requesting all available legal measures."
