During Justin Bieber’s October 2013 visit to Seoul, contemporary reports said he appeared shirtless at a nightclub DJ booth and played hip-hop. A reported confrontation involving DJ Michael Woods and tour manager Alex Madden remains disputed: Woods alleged Bieber hit Madden, while the club host reportedly said the exchange ended before punches.
What happened at the Seoul nightclub?
E! News reported on October 12, 2013, that Bieber was at Eden in Seoul during an exchange with DJ Michael Woods and Woods’s tour manager, Alex Madden. According to that account, Bieber asked for hip-hop, Woods objected, and Bieber was later seen shirtless at the DJ booth playing hip-hop. E! News’s October 12 report

Us Weekly also reported that Bieber was later behind the turntables without a shirt. Its account attributed the initial description of a heated exchange to party host Ben Baller. Us Weekly’s October 12 report
Was anyone struck?
The physical-contact claim is an allegation, not an established fact. Us Weekly reported Woods’s claim that Bieber hit Madden, while also reporting Baller’s account that the exchange stopped before punches. E! News said a promoter denied that a punch was thrown. Pollstar later described the host’s account as a minor misunderstanding and noted that gossip reports had characterized the incident as a fight. Pollstar’s October 15 recap

The accounts therefore differ on whether physical contact occurred. The cited coverage does not establish that Bieber punched or struck Madden.
How the nightclub report differs from the concert
Bieber performed in Seoul on October 10, 2013, at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. Yonhap described it as his first Korean concert and reported that he performed shirtless during part of the show. That is separate from the later nightclub account: the concert was a stage performance, while the club reports described him at a DJ booth. Yonhap’s October 10 concert report

When did the club visit take place?
The nightclub reports were published October 12 and place the episode during Bieber’s South Korea visit, shortly after the October 10 Seoul concert. The cited reporting does not establish a precise date for the club night, so it is best described as early October 2013 rather than assigned a specific day. E! News had reported on October 3 that Bieber planned to travel to South Korea after China and Japan; that itinerary context does not independently confirm details of the club episode. E!
