A music video shoot by rookie K-pop group Keyvitup ended with police at the scene. Around 3:20 a.m. on Wednesday (local time), officers were called to Jemulpo market in Incheon, where the crew was filming with loud speakers, smoke effects and a large team in a residential area.

A resident of ten years vented on social media that they had seen countless shoots there but never one show up suddenly in the middle of the night using loudspeakers, with no notice to neighbors. The abandoned 1970s market is a popular location and has appeared in films such as 'New World' and 'Sunny'.

iNKODE, the agency founded by singer Kim Jae-joong, apologized and admitted it failed to consider the shoot's impact on residents. Keyvitup debuted in April with three Korean and two Japanese members and is set to return in November.
