As Chaser member Ren has been embroiled in controversy over remarks that appeared to show irritation toward a fan, the group will temporarily suspend its fan communication activities.

On the 14th, Chaser's agency Howling Entertainment announced, "We are informing you of our plan to temporarily suspend the use of Ren's SNS, PLUS CHAT, and Fandol services."

The agency added, "This is not a complete suspension of the artist's activities. We will take a period to focus on presenting a better image."

Furthermore, the agency stated, "We will provide separate notice regarding the timing for resuming the temporarily suspended services. We ask for your understanding."

Previously, controversy arose after it was revealed that Ren responded with "So what?" and "Why are you saying things to me? You keep annoying me" when a fan sent the message "I have been waiting continuously" on a paid fan communication platform.

In response, the agency apologized on the 12th, stating, "We sincerely apologize to all fans who may have been hurt by Ren's inappropriate words and actions." The agency continued, "We deeply reflect on having caused disappointment and hurt through careless words and actions, when we should have shown a more cautious and responsible attitude toward our fans."

Meanwhile, Chaser, the group Ren belongs to, debuted in February.
