K-pop boy group ZEROBASEONE is currently making headlines and drawing criticism not because of its members, but instead because of one of its managers. The manager has come under fire after a disturbing clip of him at the airport was posted online during the group’s airport arrival. The clip quickly went viral when it was posted on social media, raising concern among users. Read on to know more.
What Happened With ZEROBASEONE’s Manager At The Airport
According to several viral clips taken by both fans and other people present at the airport, a manager from ZEROBASEONE’s team was allegedly seen aggressively pushing and yelling at random civilians at the airport. The individuals who were pushed by the group’s manager reportedly had nothing to do with ZEROBASEONE and were trying to reach the airport terminal. Some were simply passing by, while the rest paused and looked at the ongoing commotion.
People posted the clip where ZEROBASEONE’s manager was seen aggressively pushing a person. In the caption of the post, the person wrote that they were just trying to get a glimpse of ZEROBASEONE when the manager came and hit them. They also mentioned how there might be a need for them to go to the hospital after this to get checked up.
What shocked the internet the most about this situation was that this behaviour of the manager was directed not only towards fans but also towards bystanders. It is normal for managers to control crowds at airports. Fans can get quite unruly and chaotic at airports whenever there is a K-pop idol sighting. However, many feel that physically intimidating or shoving strangers is a major overstep.
Fans took to X to voice their frustrations towards the managers. They questioned whether he was just trying to protect ZEROBASEONE or fulfill a personal vendetta towards the fans.
This incident has reignited the heated debate about how K-pop staffers handle public appearances and whether agencies do enough to train managers in crowd control without violence.
