Some SEVENTEEN members have become the victims of stampedes in the airport, sparking concern for the members' safety.
SEVENTEEN has temporarily halted their "Follow" concert tour to focus on their upcoming comeback and individual activities. As the group takes a break, airports have become hotspots for CARATs to catch a glimpse of the SEVENTEEN members.
However, the security situation at these locations remains concerning, with SEVENTEEN often facing overwhelming crowds and worried fans whenever they travel overseas for schedules.
SEVENTEEN Members Crowded by Over-Enthusiastic CARATs in Airport
A recent incident at Chengdu airport involving SEVENTEEN's Jun, surrounded by a swarm of Chinese fans, has sparked concern across social media.
Despite the presence of security guards, Jun found himself trapped amidst a sea of fans, unable to navigate through the crowded passageway. This alarming situation showcases the need for improved security measures to ensure the safety of idols and prevent such chaotic scenes in the future.
Eyewitness accounts recalled that the situation was reminiscent of a zombie movie, with hundreds of people swarming around Jun, as he struggled to break free from a horde of fans.
Amidst the chaos, Jun was reportedly forced to seek refuge in the restroom for 20–30 minutes to avoid worsening the chaos and ensure the safety of those around him.
This distressing incident highlights the urgent need for better crowd control measures to protect idols and maintain order in such high-pressure situations.
SEVENTEEN Jeonghan & Mingyu Mobbed on the Way to Paris Fashion Week
Jeonghan and Mingyu faced a similar situation when they arrived at the airport for their flight to Paris Fashion Week. It marked Jeonghan's first public appearance after his injury, drawing many eager fans who gathered to capture photos and videos of the male idol.
Despite the overwhelming crowd and flashing lights, Jeonghan maintained a cheerful demeanor, acknowledging and greeting fans amidst the chaos.
Amidst SEVENTEEN's recent schedules, the management company took measures to ensure the artists' safety by ensuring a large number of bodyguards. However, the sheer volume of fans at the airport proved it was not enough. Mingyu, for instance, encountered difficulties navigating through the crowd during his recent departure for Paris.

Despite his fame, The8 found himself overwhelmed with fear when unexpectedly confronted by the enthusiastic crowd.
This incident prompted widespread criticism directed at both HYBE and Pledis from fans, highlighting the importance of adequate security measures to ensure the safety of idols during public appearances.
