The veteran K-pop group g.o.d (Groove Over Dose) and their management, Gemstone E&M, have taken a firm stance against the persistent issue of fan intrusions into the members’ private lives and professional spaces.
On November 23, [2025], the agency released a detailed statement announcing new, strict measures aimed at protecting the artists’ schedules and privacy.
This decision was prompted by the “continued visits to non-public schedules (company office and practice room, etc.) and uncoordinated support deliveries,” highlighting the necessity for immediate fan cooperation to maintain a safe and healthy environment.
Prohibition of Unauthorized Access to Private Spaces
The primary concern addressed by Gemstone E&M is the unauthorized physical presence of fans in areas strictly off-limits to the public.
The agency explicitly singled out the company office and the practice room as locations where unauthorized visits have been repeatedly occurring, directly interfering with the members’ work and rest.
The official warning delivered by the agency was unambiguous: “Visiting non-public schedules or private spaces that have not been announced in advance can lead to invasions of privacy and is strictly prohibited.”
This rule emphasizes the critical boundary between the artists’ public careers and their personal security and workspace.
For a group like g.o.d, whose members are busy preparing for major events, the ability to focus in a secure and private setting is paramount.

The intrusion into non-public schedules compromises the professional integrity and efficiency of their operations, necessitating this severe restriction to safeguard the members’ rights.
Mandatory Coordination for Fan Support
Beyond physical intrusion, the agency also detailed a structured policy change regarding fan gifts and event support.
Previously, issues had arisen with the handling, storage, and delivery of uncoordinated support, causing logistical problems on site.
To streamline this process and prevent further issues, Gemstone E&M has established a mandatory coordination system:
- Application Process: Fans wishing to send support must first apply by email and then establish clear communication with the designated manager.
- Rejection Policy: The agency clearly stated, “Any support delivered without prior coordination will not be accepted on site.”
This new procedure ensures that all fan support is properly accounted for, managed safely, and delivered efficiently, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to both acknowledging fan generosity and maintaining logistical order around the artists’ activities.
Context of g.o.d’s Legacy and Upcoming Schedule
This privacy warning is particularly poignant given g.o.d’s nearly three-decade history.
Debuting in 1999, the group became known as the “national group” through chart-topping hits like ‘Road’ and their popular reality show appearance on ‘Diary of Parenting.’

After a period of solo activities and a hiatus, the five original members successfully reunited for full-group promotions in 2015, maintaining a devoted and passionate fanbase.
The need for these strict measures comes right as the group prepares for a major end-of-year concert series. g.o.d is scheduled to hold full-group concerts in two major cities:
- Seoul: KSPO Dome, scheduled for December 5–7.
- Busan: BEXCO, scheduled for December 20–21.
The agency concluded its statement by appealing for “active cooperation” from the fandom, stressing that these guidelines are essential “For a healthy fan culture and to protect the artists’ privacy” and vowing to continue their best efforts to protect the artists’ rights.
The successful execution of these highly anticipated concerts hinges on the members’ ability to prepare without external disturbances.
