Incheon Airport To Open Special Private Entrance For Celebrities

According to a document uploaded to X, originally sent out from Incheon International Airport to various entertainment companies, the airport will now be opening a private entrance for celebrities. Companies will need to apply for the use of the entrance in advance.

While stars have taken VIP exits occasionally, it seems like the airport is now applying it to their entry as well. Traditionally, artists take the public entrance not only due to lack of infrastructure but also for press opportunities.

Subject: Request to follow procedures should artists use the exclusive entrance at Incheon International Airport when leaving the country.

1. While we hope for your company’s infinite development, this is related to creating an environment for safe usage of the airport.

2. Recently, as local artists’ popularity has grown internationally, the frequency of fans and the public crowding at the airport has increased, and following the increasing size of the crowd, this has been affecting not just the comfort of regular passengers, but also safety.

3. As such, in order to reduce the crowds at the airport, we have created a new exclusive entrance for celebrities and famous people for departure. This will be put into action from October 28, 2024, onwards, and we will be providing you with the plans for it. Please take note of how to use the exclusive entrance and other important information. In the case where you want to use the exclusive entrance, please submit a request to the airport in advance.

4. In addition, as we are trying to provide a safe and pleasant environment for our citizens and passengers, in order to reduce  the crowds of various members of the public, we hope that your company can release an announcement to your artists’ fandom about refraining from going to the airport when artists’ leave and enter the country. We hope that you can cooperate by publishing this on the official fan cafe, social media, Weverse or other companies
