"'We will visit the affected residents'…'Kibitup' apologizes for early morning filming"

[Dispatch=Reporter Lee Myeong-ju] Rookie boy group KEYVITUP apologized for causing noise during early morning filming.

INCODE released an apology statement titled "Notice Regarding KEYVITUP Music Video Filming" through Mnet Plus KEYVITUP Plus Chat on the 30th of last month.

The company bowed to residents affected by the noise. "We failed to consider the inconvenience that could result from filming continuing late into the night," it stated.

It continued, "We are taking this matter seriously," and added, "We will visit the residents and handle follow-up measures with a sense of responsibility."

The company also promised to prevent recurrence. "In future filming and production processes, we will exercise greater care regarding the surrounding environment and residents' daily lives," it said.

It emphasized, "We will conduct thorough preliminary checks with the production company and confirm on-site noise management to ensure this does not happen again."

KEYVITUP filmed a music video related to their new album near Jemulpo Market in Michuhol-gu, Incheon from the 29th of last month until 3:50 a.m. the following day.

A citizen shared the situation on SNS. In particular, a scene showing the filming team generating noise through a speaker was captured in full, sparking controversy.

Meanwhile, KEYVITUP is a five-member group that debuted in April. They are preparing a new album with a comeback planned for next month.
