1Z Entertainment issues statement over alarming SB19 fan behavior
SB19 has taken the P-Pop world by storm. Since “Gento” blasted onto the scene, their fandom, the mighty A’TIN, has grown bigger and has spread like wildfire internationally. But with great popularity comes great responsibility, and some A’TIN seems to be mistaking that responsibility for a backstage pass to the boys’ private lives.
Respectful Fan Conduct
1Z Entertainment just dropped a truth bomb of a statement, urging fans to dial down the obsessive behavior. We’re talking full-on stalker mode that would make private investigators scratch their heads. Allegedly, some A’TIN have been camping outside the 1Z offices like they’re waiting for the next limited-edition merch drop or in demand concert tickets.

Reports of fans camping outside the 1Z Entertainment building have surfaced, some allegedly attempting to enter restricted areas, and even claims of fans going through company trash hoping to find items used by SB19 members.
Unhealthy Fan-Artist Relationship
This kind of behavior isn’t just creepy, it’s downright dangerous. A tragic example is John Lennon of the iconic The Beatles. In 1980, a crazed fan, Mark David Chapman, shot and killed Lennon outside his New York City apartment building. Chapman was obsessed with Lennon and his music, but his actions crossed a dangerous line. We don’t want history to repeat itself, especially not with our P-Pop kings.
Medyo kinakabahan ako sa mga stalker ng esbi. Tapos yung nakita ko pang vid dun sa mga lucky me x sb19 boxes. Jusko po. This is getting out of hand. Sana be mature enough and be cautious lalo sa pagcocomment din sa mga tiktok lives nila. Nakakatakot lang.

The issue extends beyond the physical space of 1Z Entertainment and SB19. Reports indicate some A’TIN may be engaging in petty theft, stealing photocards—promotional items often included with SB19-endorsed products. This not only harms the companies involved but also reflects poorly on the entire fandom.

I’D JUST HOPE EVERYONE WILL BE FAIR AND JUST, KAHIT GAANO NATIN KAGUSTO MAKITA ANG MAHALIMA O TO HAVE A MERCH FROM THEM LETS GET IT THE RIGHT WAY. I AM NOT HERE TO BRAG HOW MANY I GOT BUT TO CALL OUT AN INDECENT ACTION. A’TIN HINDI ITO ANG TAMANG ACTION OR ATTITUDE NA PUPROTEKTAHAN NG MAHALIMA.

Here’s the bottom line: Support SB19, shower them with love, and buy all the albums (because, let’s be honest, they’re fantastic). But respect their privacy. Remember, they’re human beings, not zoo animals. Let’s all show our love healthily because true love isn’t and shouldn’t be dangerous!

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
