Fans Highly Critical Of Opening Of Exclusive Entrance For Celebrities At Incheon Airport
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.
아니 기자들을 먼저 막으셈
기자들이 다 생중계해서 올리니까
팬들도 존나 가고싶어지는거임
걍 모를때는 홈마가 사진올리면
엥? 출국? 엥? 입국?
이러기만하던거
공항패션이니나발이니지랄하기시작라면거
기자들부르고난리부르스떠니까
사람들이당연히가보고싶어지는거지
전용출구이지랄하네 https://t.co/WhYmmSkpCQ— 허룽이.. (@gunsilshota) October 22, 2024
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.
질서가 개에바인건 알겠는데
막을거면 기자도 막아라
기자들은 공항에서 팬싸하고 계시던데 https://t.co/rhOMTQMqyB— 공이백 (@zeroisbaek) October 22, 2024
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.
