It was recently announced that Incheon International Airport would be opening an exclusive entrance for celebrities.

Incheon Airport To Open Special Private Entrance For Celebrities

Companies can apply to use the special entrance.

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

Following the announcement, while a majority of fans support this decision, some have also pointed out the hypocrisy in how the airport has dealt with the matter. A portion of the surge can be attributed to many reporters posting live streams of the artists’ arrival and departure for views. This reveals the schedules to fans in advance.

No, but block the reporters from coming first. Because they are all uploading live streams, the fans are f*cking dying to go too. Back then, no one knew about their schedules and it was only when the fansites would upload photos that other fans would be like ‘huh? They’re going? Huh? Their coming back?” That was how it was back then. Only when the sh*t about airport fashion started that the press were called over and things turned to chaos. Of course people would want to go to see them. Exclusive entrance? What a load of cr*p.

Fans ask for reporters to be banned as well.

I know that order has turned to chaos, but if you’re going to stop fans, stop the reporters too. The reporters are all just having fansigns at the airport.

Many reporters have taken to getting friendly with the artists.

Tell the Newsen and Dispatch reporters who randomly act close to the idols to stop coming instead.
