Mark Tuan Of GOT7 Fame, Is Rewriting Fan Etiquette 

AUTHOR

As global fan culture continues to evolve, so too do the boundaries artists and their teams are setting in place for mutual respect and safety. In a recent notice shared by Mark Tuan’s agency DNA, the GOT7 member has made it clear: there’s a line between support and overstepping, and it must be honoured.

Titled simply but powerfully, the statement lays out clear expectations for fans when it comes to interacting with the artist, especially in private or transitional spaces. The message, is not about distancing fans emotionally, rather, it is about positively fostering a healthy relationship grounded in consent, care, and consideration.

Privacy Isn’t a Perk, It’s a Right

Under a section called “Respecting Privacy,” Mark’s artist management agency, DNA makes it explicitly clear that private spaces are off-limits. This includes Mark’s spaces, such as hotel, gym, practice rooms, and any locations not intended for public interaction. The agency also cautions against attending unofficial schedules that haven’t been publicly announced by DNA, and discourages the act of soliciting, obtaining or sharing of any travel or flight information regarding the whereabouts and travel schedules of Mark.

Message from DNA (artist management) to GOT7’s Fans

It’s a sobering but necessary reminder: just because an artist lives in the public eye doesn’t mean their every movement is public domain.

Airport Isn’t a Meet & Greet

One of the most striking portions of the guidelines comes under “Airport Etiquette.” It directly addresses a trend that has become all too common in K-pop fandom — airport ambushes.

The rules are clear: do not hand over letters or gifts directly to the artist, or make contact in any part of the airport, including arrival halls and boarding gates. Even filming or photographing Mark in the airport or on the plane is strictly prohibited. These measures aren’t about coldness, they’re about creating breathing room. Artists, like anyone else, deserve to travel without intrusion.

Breaking the Rules Has Consequences

DNA isn’t mincing words. Any violation of these guidelines will result in the fan being blacklisted from all future DNA events. Attempts to rejoin events under another name or account will lead to immediate removal, with no refunds. And it’s not just a one-way policy. The agency is actively calling on fans to help uphold this culture by reporting boundary-crossing behavior to fan@marktuan.com.

Rewriting Fan Culture, Together

At the core of this statement is a quiet revolution in how fan communities operate. It calls for a shift away from entitlement and towards empathy. It’s about recognising that behind the idol is a human being; one who is constantly navigating public scrutiny, time zones, creative timelines and pressures, furthermore now, the need for safe space.

DNA’s guidelines aren’t just rules; they’re a call to action. For fans who truly love and support Mark Tuan, the best way to show it is by giving him the freedom to move safely, and with peace of mind.
