Person Wrestled Away From aespa’s Winter And Giselle In “Scary” Viral Video
Another video of aespa‘s Winter during her recent trip to Shanghai has gone viral. In the clip, fans spotted a person rush towards her and Giselle‘s vicinity as the girls entered the building where their event would take place.
Earlier today, Winter and Karina flew to Shanghai to attend their KMS offline fansign event. After arriving, the girls headed towards their hotel. As she walked towards the hotel, Winter was met with a loud group of people who were throwing abuse her way while screaming and shouting curses related to her recent dating rumors.
Hours later — as the full group prepared to enter the building where their offline fansign would be held — people surrounded the entrance, taking videos and pictures of the girls. There were several security guards and managers around.
aespa finally arrived at the fansign.
the location isnt the mall but an undisclosed location shared to the winners of the fansign. 👍 pic.twitter.com/l8D0trc3Jn

However, it all went wrong when a person was caught slipping past a staff member and a bodyguard to rush towards the same entrance Winter and Giselle were walking towards. The person was caught by security and wrestled away from there seconds before Winter and Giselle walked in through the entrance.
this is so scary… someone actually ran fast towards winter and gigi pic.twitter.com/kR9tIHLoI9

Another person at the scene posted the video on Threads. It then made its way to X (formerly known as Twitter), where fans reacted horrified, accusing SM Entertainment and their chosen security team of being “incompetent.”
Isn’t the purpose of security to protect the artists? Just standing blankly in front of the car—how does that count as protection? The real issue here is the person who ran in; they deserve to face the consequences. But isn’t the whole point of having security to immediately stop those kinds of lunatics? It’s ridiculous that only one person ran after them, and even that was barely effective. SM needs to provide proper feedback, and Dream With Us should just disappear.

시큐의 목적은 아티스트 보호 아닌가요 그냥 차 앞에서 멀뚱멀뚱 서있으면 그게 보호가 되나요 애초에 뛰어든 새끼가 문제고 죽어 마땅하지만 저런 미친새끼들 바로바로 막으라고 있는게 시큐 아닌가요 뒤늦게 한명 뛰어가서 겨우 막은게 얼탱이가 없음 SM은 확실한 피드백 주고 드림위더스는 꺼져라 https://t.co/uN8vvyCoPX

Fans angry with the bodyguards have accused them of weakly standing around the members and not actively looking around to ensure any possible threats are squashed.

Others are left wondering what the person’s plan was once if they had been able to get closer to the girls.
