Recently, a fansite was caught on camera yelling and running towards Cignature‘s Jeewon.
Following an event, Jeewon is seen leaving in a van with her window down to greet fans waiting. At this point, a man can be heard yelling before he comes into the frame being held back by security.
The man attempts to move towards the startled Jeewon as he continues to shout at her.
It is unclear when this incident occurred, but on August 31, C9 Entertainment issued a notice connected to it. The notice announced that mentioned person would be blacklisted from attending events due to “violating personal privacy, disrupting public broadcasts, and manipulating public opinion.”

After this notice, the alleged fansite shared a now-deleted apology, claiming responsibility for their actions.
Hello, this is hanami.
I sincerely apologize for the inappropriate incident that occurred during the Yeosu showcam on my way back.
At that time, I was overcome with emotions for various reasons and momentarily lost judgment, leading to a significant mistake. I deeply apologize to everyone who was hurt and felt uncomfortable.
Although I couldn’t control my emotions in the moment, I assure you that it was not my true intention, and I am determined never to let something like this happen again.
I am especially ashamed and feel deeply regretful for my actions towards Choi Ae, which I should never have done. I earnestly ask for your forgiveness just this once.
I sincerely apologize for everything.
