Netizens Praise Super Junior For Their Actions During A Meet And Greet At KAMP LA 2022
Super Junior are currently receiving praise from netizens after their actions during the meet and greet at the KAMP LA 2022 Festival.
KAMP LA 2022 recently completed its first day following nearly half of the original line-up being unable to perform at the festival due to visa issues. Super Junior initially had issues and only some of the members of the group were able to leave as scheduled from Korea, according to fans monitoring the situation.
UPDATE: Some members of Super Junior are also awaiting for Visa to be resolved, no word from Taeyeon. Kai currently cannot fly due to visa issues. MLD artists also are not able to fly at the moment. Only D1 artists that are here or Enroute is iKON, partially SuJu and P1Harmony.

Thankfully, the remaining members of the group were able to leave at a later time and arrive in LA in time for the festival.

In addition to their performance, Super Junior were announced to be one of the groups that would take part in the meet and greet offered by KAMP‘s organizers. The meet & greet was purchased by fans as part of a ticket package that offered a variety of perks and had fans excited about what meeting their favorite idols would entail.
Unfortunately, some fans were disappointed by what the meet and greet actually turned out to be. In videos shared online, idols can be seen standing against a backdrop from about ten feet away as fans walk by and wave from behind a barricade.

While meet and greet events have changed following COVID-19 regulations, many fans thought that this experience was not worth the massive price tag and that the organizers were not clear when selling tickets for the event.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME PEOPLE PAID TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A MEET & GREET AT KAMP AND THEY’RE LITERALLY BEING TOLD TO WAVE AT THE IDOLS FROM A BARRICADE PLACED TEN FEET AWAY FROM THE CELEB?????
ITS NOT EVEN AN ACTUAL HI TOUCH????
YALL THAT TICKET WAS TWO THOUSAND I-

Fans expected something similar from Super Junior’s meet and greet but were pleasantly surprised by the actions of the group. At the beginning of the meet and greet, Super Junior can be seen standing against the same backdrop, but seem to realize how the event was about to proceed. The members then walk forward to the barricade where fans are passing by.
Holy moly. I actually met Super Junior. Staff tried to make them stand at the wall and just wave to us, but Super Junior said nope. And walked up to the rail. We did high fives, some people took pics, and Ryeowook was filming us all. I’m on cloud 9! #SUPERJUNIOR #elf

According to one fan that attended the event, Super Junior even ignored staff telling them to stay in place to get closer to their fans!

Fans and non-fans have been praising Super Junior for their actions, especially Shindong and Yesung who most likely did not have much time to rest after landing just hours before the festival.
Suju pushed through to come to LA even with their visa issue and the whole KAMP mess cuz they know there are ELF are waiting. Then for M&G instead of just waving they did Hi-touch. The level of love and respect they have for their fans is beyond words. #KAMPLA2022 #SUPERJUNIOR
