Reports from local sources indicate that Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, Apink's Bomi, television presenter Choi Hee, and singer Lim Na-young, formerly of I.O.I, have been detained in Bali, Indonesia for filming in unauthorized locations.

The four entertainers traveled to Bali on Sunday to shoot footage for an upcoming travel show titled "Pick Me Trip in Bali," set to air on KBS Joy.

Over 30 cast and crew members, including the four stars, were reportedly detained during screening for departure at an Indonesian airport due to the production team's lack of a permit from the Indonesian government for filming in certain locations.

While the team had issued tourist visas to the cast and crew, a separate permit for filming purposes is required for foreigners, with additional permits needed for shooting in specific locations, including natural reserves.

According to media outlet Newsis, the detained celebrities have had their passports confiscated and are currently under investigation. Lim Na-young's agency, Mask Studio, stated that they were last in contact with the production staff on Friday morning, who indicated that the group could not yet return to Korea. KBS Joy has not confirmed a broadcast date for the show.
