Singer Park Jae-jeong's side has decided to change the name of its official fan club.

Park Jae-jeong's agency, Romantic Factory, recently announced via official SNS that "the name of the first generation of Park Jae-jeong's official fan club, which will begin recruitment on the 22nd, was announced as 'Tree' to reflect a meaning connected to the artist's nickname."

It further explained, "After the announcement, we learned that fans of senior artist Park Hyo-shin's official fan club, 'Soul Tree,' have been referred to by the nickname 'Tree' for a long time."

The agency stated, "Although the official fan club names themselves are different, we judged that using the same title could cause confusion. Especially as we are just starting our official fan club, we believe it is more appropriate to respond more carefully."

Accordingly, the previously announced fan club name has been decided to be re-examined, and the new name will be announced separately at a later date. However, recruitment for the first generation of the fan club will proceed as scheduled starting on the 22nd.

Romantic Factory stated, "Since it was a meaningful name containing a narrative connected to the artist's nickname, we sincerely apologize to the fans who were happy and supported us for causing disappointment."

It also added, "We apologize to senior artist Park Hyo-shin and his fans who may have felt confused due to this incident, and we will return with a more careful and thoughtful approach."

Below is the full official statement from Park Jae-jeong's agency.

Hello. This is Romantic Factory, Park Jae-jeong's agency.

We kindly ask for your understanding that we had to deliver this announcement through the artist's account for a quick notice.

We previously announced that the name of the first generation of Park Jae-jeong's official fan club, which will begin recruitment on the 22nd, would be 'Tree' to reflect a meaning connected to the artist's nickname.

However, after the announcement, we learned that fans of senior artist Park Hyo-shin's official fan club, 'Soul Tree,' have been referred to by the nickname 'Tree' for a long time.

Although the official fan club names themselves are different, we judged that using the same title could cause confusion, and especially as we are just starting our official fan club, we believe it is more appropriate to respond more carefully.

Accordingly, we have decided to re-examine the previously announced fan club name, and the new name will be announced separately at a later date. However, recruitment for the first generation of the fan club will proceed as scheduled starting on June 22.

Since it was a meaningful name containing a narrative connected to the artist's nickname, we sincerely apologize to the fans who were happy and supported us for causing disappointment.

We also convey our apologies to senior artist Park Hyo-shin and his fans who may have felt confused due to this incident.

We will return with a more careful and thoughtful approach.

Thank you.
