On the afternoon of December 2, many fans came to pick up Jungkook at Incheon airport (South ḳöŕệä) because this was his last overseas business trip before enlisting in the army. Everything was going well until the situation at the airport started to get chaotic and the crowd started pushing to get closer to Jungkook.
In particular, a moment when Jungkook was pushed in the crowd to the point of tripping was recorded, making ARMYs extremely angry. Apparently, even if it was Jungkook's last flight, fans still made it a nightmare for him. No respect was shown to Jungkook and many people wondered if the people there were really his fans or not?
The story about Jungkook being pushed at the airport is currently being discussed across SNS:
While at the peak of his solo career, Jungkook still decided to put everything aside and enlist on December 12 to quickly reunite with the group in 2025. The decision to enlist was even announced just 1 day later after Jungkook finished promoting his solo album GOLDEN.
But even when he is no longer promoting his solo project, Jungkook still carries out many different schedules, even going on business trips abroad to prepare a lot of content for fans before enlisting. Before that, he was also spotted going to jαpαn with Jimin to film a special project.
Meanwhile, on December 2, Jungkook returned to Incheon after departing for Los Angeles a few days earlier. Similarly, whenever Jungkook is at the airport, crowds of fans gather to welcome him along with many reporters. This wouldn't be a problem if the fans knew how to stay conscious and only stand in the designated area to greet him, but not once have the fans really been conscious and respectful of him.
The crowd quickly became chaotic when Jungkook walked out and the scene was no different from the zombies in Train To Busan. Because there were so many people, everyone seemed crazy, so the crowd jostled and pushed each other. But what's worse is that it also affected Jungkook and made him almost fall forward. Without the protection and help of the bodyguards, Jungkook would certainly have been crushed by the crowd.
The entire scene of the jostling and jostling at the airport that almost made Jungkook fall was recorded and spread on SNS, making ARMYs extremely upset. Many people criticized impolite fans for causing chaos at the airport, endαngєring even their idols. Not only that, ARMYs continue to urge fans to stay home and send their wishes to him from afar instead of letting such a situation happen.
There are many opinions that have been expressed after witnessing this scene:
- They were just selfishly trying to get a better shot!! ignoring the leg injury. His knee is getting worse and worse these days. take care of yourself Jk
- This is unacceptable. I'm so embarrαssed from these armys, and I feel sorry for jungkook!
- My precious Jungkook is being attacked by zombies
- It’s just getting worst and worst every time. Such a disgrace.
- At this rate I highly request airport authorities to stop fans entering the airport. This is not acceptable. It's not safe for the artists as well as the fans. It could be soo risky. Let's get the purple ribbon campaign back and have a safe place for the artist and fans.
- I don’t want to call them Army. Saseng!! Really worry JK
- K-armys what are you guys doing???????? Please don't do this. give him some spaces please
- Can't korean citizens demand airports to have a private entrance/exit for all artists and high profile travelers? The only way this will stop is by having a private entrance/exit. That only artists and their security detail can use.
- Those stalkers need to be stopped! Stop hyping fansite airport photos and this stalkers have to be blacklisted.
- Please stop doing such ḧöŕŕïḅŀệ things. you guys are really mean to Jungkook!!! He is tired, let him feel safe and comfortable!!!
- Someone will get badly нυят if this continues. Why do they announce he is coming back to ḳöŕệä, they should not let anyone know. Or can’t he come out via an exclusive exit. A bad situation.
- And HYBE keeps ignoring all this... They have to do som̾e̾t̾h ̾ing!!! Also how they allow people to gather all together and block the whole airport? How the airoport give such permission? It is dαngєrous...
Meanwhile, despite being pushed and tired after a long flight, Jungkook was still extremely friendly, constantly greeting fans from inside the airport until he got in the car to leave. The courtesy that Jungkook showed to these fans deserved more respect and love from them, not for him to fall into such a dαngєrous situation.
