HYBE Group’s Airport Experience With “Sasaengs” Angers Netizens
The situation at airports when it comes to idols’ safety has become a huge topic, with fans constantly sharing concerns about the chaos that happens when groups go and return from overseas schedules.
HYBE group &TEAM‘s recent airport experience angered fans.
Recently, &TEAM was spotted going to Japan from Gimpo Airport.
When &TEAM got closer to the passport control, the crowds started to gather, and fans pushed to get a chance to see the members up close.
One clip had netizens concerned and angry.
Once idols move through passport control, the area is only for those intending to fly. Of course, as idols fly on normal planes, there will be normal netizens intending to fly and who arrive at the same time. Yet, netizens noticed some netizens who seemed like fans either waiting inside the area or following them by taking pictures. Luckily, security was there to ensure they didn’t continue to bother the members.
While it’s not confirmed that they were sasaengs, it wasn’t surprising that fans were concerned about the members, with the possibility that they could be fans who had found a way to get on the same flight or access the more restricted parts of the airport.
The video was shared on X, and the OP captioned it, “I was so scared that I let out a shout.”

When the tweet was shared, it gained attention among Japanese netizens, which wasn’t surprising as &TEAM is a Japanese group. Fans couldn’t hide their anger at what they were seeing, but there was also praise for the way the security guard handled the situation.

こんなことしないで欲しい
ストーカー行為だし、本人も、
いい気持ちはしないよね https://t.co/tw4kW9iIRx— るるあ (@Koko20120808) June 2, 2024
I wish they (fans) wouldn’t do this. It’s stalking behavior, and the person also involved wouldn’t feel good about it, right?

Until there are more controls, more situations like this will happen and cause anger from fans.
