Netizens couldn’t hide their shock at how unsafe the conditions were. In particular, while the fans waiting at the airport were the main focus of criticism, others shared anger at the airport and K-Pop companies for not trying to combat it. Simple measures such as private exits or stopping fans from going outside the barriers could help.
this is definitely done to idols on purpose. there’s no reason why they can’t tighten the security at the airport or make sure he uses a private exit. it’s all done to give access to media to photograph him. this airport culture needs to stop in kpop. https://t.co/PZXW15Jr13

Anyone who chases like this should be given an instant formal ban from buying tickets in 2025 and beyond, to make it 0.0000000001 percent easier for the rest of us. It’s disgusting! https://t.co/RxdWqu4aVp

Wtf? Why isn’t it possible, that the crowd have to stand at their place?? This behavior will only change if something bad will (hopefully never) happen. The company has to take responsibility for this case. https://t.co/SdPhD7TFu3

Every time idols arrive at the airport, netizens raise anger and demand change, yet it never seems to happen. With more videos being shared, it will continue to be a hot topic amongst netizens until something is sorted.
“The airport culture in K-Pop needs to stop…”
