Public Enraged After A Minor Sustains Concussion After Being Assaulted By Their Idols’ Bodyguard

A teenaged fan recently filed a lawsuit against a bodyguard for causing her to sustain a minor concussion. The fan alleged that she was hit in the head and threatened multiple times when she went to the airport to see CRAVITY.

In the original accusations that arose in June 2024, the victim attached several videos of the attack, claiming that they were hit multiple times in the head by the guard, who warned her not to “stick close,” despite the fact that she was a distance away.

“I have never stuck close to the members. I told him that, and the only response I got was rude speech and him calling me ‘a mental patient.’ I am a minor, and I was scared to deal with a grown man, so I tried to leave. But he used his handphone to take my photos, and continued to chase after me. He continued to film me and my friend, mocking me with words such as ‘do more, why don’t you?’ and more. Heaven though the other guards around tried to stop him, he continued to chase me and film me, all the way even after I left the gates.”

Police and news reports revealed that she ended up sustaining a concussion from the matter, as certified by medical staff. Following the attack, Starship Entertainment released a statement where they claimed to have fired the security company involved.

Netizens were outraged at the matter, as it resulted in a minor being assaulted and injured. They called out the over-protection of celebrities once again.

• Honestly, this is too serious a matter. It has not been just once or twice where things are glossed over because they are fans… Those who use violence should all be fired.
• Is hitting someone what a guard should do? Honestly aren’t all bodyguards thugs?
• Who is the idol involved? Give me a name.
• We welcome a lawsuit party.
• Crazy…
• Hope she gets proper financial therapy.
• Acting like sh*t and all lol.
• Are they thugs?

The over-protection of celebrities has been a hot topic recently. Previously, Byun Woo Seok also faced backlash after his security guard checked other passengers’ flight tickets without prior agreement with the airport.
