Security concerns for K-pop idols have been ongoing for a long time. Since most idols travel by commercial plane, they use the same airports and passageways as others, increasing the risk of being mobbed. Fans often gather outside airports and sometimes follow their favourite K-pop idols inside in hopes of attracting attention. ENHYPEN has several times fallen victim to unruly fans during airport visits. A recent incident involving ENHYPEN’s security and fans has sparked a heated debate with mixed reactions. Read on to find out what happened.
What Did ENHYPEN’s Security Guard Do At The Airport?
In a video which is now going viral, fans are seen crowding around an ENHYPEN member. A staff member then hits a fan with a piece of paper to make her step backwards, away from the idol. The video was taken near the airline’s boarding area, which passed the security checkpoint.
After the video was posted online, it sparked a heated debate. Some people felt that the staff member’s actions were justified, as fans have been warned multiple times to practice caution and not get too close to the K-pop idols. Taking such measures is the only option if they still don’t listen after multiple warnings.
On the other hand, others felt that the security should have done something other than hitting the fan on the head.
However, the majority opinion is on the staff’s side, with many even pointing out that the fan could have taken a picture of the ENHYPEN member’s passport due to the close proximity.
