A woman in her 20s attacked the glass doors of YG Entertainment’s headquarters in Seoul with a golf club on the evening of August 6, 2026, causing property damage and triggering a police response [1, 2]. Police detained the woman at the scene as a suspect for damaging company property [1, 3, 2]. Before her arrest, she entrusted her pet dog to a passerby; police later took custody of the dog as well [3].
Authorities searched the woman’s belongings but found no artist merchandise, so they could not confirm if she was a fan of YG artists [4, 5]. Some fans speculated the attack was linked to dissatisfaction with Blackpink’s upcoming 10th anniversary event, but police have not established any motive [4, 5, 1, 2]. A YG Entertainment official said, "We understand that she was handed over to the police. It is difficult for us to confirm any further details" [2].
The attack came two days before the August 8 Meet & Greet event celebrating Blackpink’s 10th anniversary, marking a decade since their debut in 2016 [4, 5, 1, 6, 3, 2]. YG Entertainment announced the event on August 6 with limited information, allowing only 40 fans to attend and initially indicating that only some group members would appear [4, 5, 6, 3]. The announcement drew criticism for its vague timing and location.
On August 7, YG Entertainment updated the details to confirm that all four Blackpink members—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—would attend the event [4, 5, 1, 6]. Rosé had been in Los Angeles shortly before the event, sparking questions about her attendance, but the agency confirmed she prioritized the anniversary gathering [4, 5].
Blackpink’s official 10th anniversary Meet & Greet is scheduled for August 8 in Seoul, with final attendance capped at 40 fans as announced [4, 5, 6]. Authorities continue investigating the woman’s motives following the attack.
