Groups of fans surrounding stars at кσяєαn airports have become extremely popular and familiar. If concerts or fan meetings cost money, airports are free and they do not need to participate in fierce ticket fιgнтs.

Even the distance between fans and idols at the airport is closer than ever. In addition, today, fans and reporters often bring filming equipment, and celebrities pose at the airport before moving.

However, this also causes extremely chaotic scenes. Fans jostling, pushing, and chasing idols not only makes the airport area unsafe and dangerous for idols and fans themselves, but also seriously affects other normal pαѕѕersby.

Recently, SM's new girl group Hearts2Hearts and their fans became the top target of criticism on SNS after photos of them appearing at Gimpo Airport were shared on SNS. In the photos and videos, the crowd was gathered around the girl group, a "specialty" whenever idols appear at the airport.

It is worth mentioning that Hearts2Hearts will not be condemned because many idols also encounter this unavoidable situation. But what made H2H criticized was that unlike other idols, the group used the regular departure hall instead of the VIP hall, leading to a situation where the crowd of fans blocked the aisles and pαѕѕenger movement areas for a long time.

Many people who were present at the airport screamed because of the traffic jam and flight delay caused by the sudden appearance of the group of girls. Others were angry that H2H and their fans affected other pαѕѕengers:

- This вαѕтαя∂s, we need to leave too!

- I think he’s saying, “You’re going to hurt the kids, you вαѕтαя∂s. We need to leave the country too. You вαѕтαя∂s.”

- I’d be pissed if I was there.

- What should we do? Can’t they just go the other way?

- They really need to ban this situation at the airport.

- They really need to open the other entrance for idols, it’s driving me crazy.

- I’d be pissed if I were there.

- Honestly, they’re such an eyesore.

- What a pain. Let other people leave the country too.

- Wow, that sounds so refreshing… I went through this at Gimpo Airport last time, everyone had to line up and it was so infuriating.

- You have to go through it to understand how annoying it is.

In this context, a previous statement by SUGA about moving at the airport for a celebrity was recalled by netizens.

At that time, a fan expressed regret that SUGA always walked very fast at the airport, leaving fans unable to interact or take photos of him. In response to the fan's words, SUGA frankly said: "Well, it’s because the airport is a place where I’m not the only one who uses it and I’ve seen people get hurt and bump into each other etc so I guess I just think I should get out of there quickly so I don’t inconvenience others.

"I’ve seen so many people get hurt and it’s a public place so I don’t want to inconvenience anyone. I’ve seen people bump into each other and bump into doors and I’m very grateful. I don’t think it’s good for the other people there", he added. 

Netizens considered that what SUGA said was completely true and he was very thoughtful. With the stature of global superstars like SUGA and BTS, moving quickly from the airport to avoid crowds shows their polite and professional attitude.

It is clear that the airport is a public place, not a fan meeting or concert for idols and fans. There are many ways for idols to meet fans without disturbing unrelated people.

Taking up public space to interact with fans is a reprehensible act. Other idols should learn from this mistake and not make the same mistake.
