In a disturbing incident at the airport, SEVENTEEN members Vernon and Wonwoo found themselves at the center of a mobbing situation, leaving fans and netizens outraged. The incident has reignited the ongoing debate regarding the safety of idols and the behavior of fans in such public spaces.
Vernon's Distressing Arrival
SEVENTEEN recently touched down in Bangkok ahead of their upcoming shows, expecting the usual fan reception. However, videos circulating online highlighted a lack of order and security, particularly during Vernon's arrival on December 22 (KST). The crowds, larger than usual and with minimal security, swarmed around Vernon, creating a chaotic scene.
Growing Concerns on Idol Safety
The incidents involving SEVENTEEN members have amplified discussions on idol security and fan behavior at airports. While fans eagerly await the arrival of their favorite idols, the recent events have prompted a reevaluation of the balance between excitement and safety. Many argue that idols should be afforded a peaceful travel experience, free from the risks posed by uncontrolled crowds.
