The girl group and their staff reportedly crossed the laid-out boundaries of a nature reserve in order to film an MV. Though there is a set area to take pictures, it's reported the girl group and staff went beyond, stepping on the natural sand dunes that are one of the main attractions of the nature reserve. 

It's reported the caretakers of the natural monument warned the girl group and staff multiple times to leave the area through a speaker system, and nearby visitors also openly criticized the MV shooting. However, both the girl group members and staff are said to have completely ignored the warnings and continued filming.

A Channel A reporter also stated that instead of being apologetic, some staff members complained that everyone was stepping beyond the boundaries and they had permission to film at the location. In the above video however, the natural monument caretaker's requests for the girl group and crew to leave the area can be clearly heard.
