Recent incidents at airports involving celebrities like BLACKPINK’s Jennie and actress Kim Ji-won shed light on the escalating challenges faced by stars during their arrivals and departures, with concerns growing over safety and chaotic scenes.
Videos circulating online depict chaotic airport scenes, with crowds of reporters and fans converging around celebrities, leading to situations where accidents such as pushing and falling occur. Despite the anxiety and discomfort caused by these incidents, celebrities like Jennie and Kim Ji-won are expected to maintain professionalism and engage in fan interactions.
During Jennie’s departure from Paris, France, in March, overwhelming fan presence led to a disorganized scene, resulting in discomfort for Jennie and safety concerns.
Kim Ji-won, amid her newfound fame from the drama “Queen of Tears,” also faced similar challenges during her recent airport arrivals, where excessive attention from fans created chaotic and potentially hazardous situations.
Netizens have expressed disappointment over the lack of safety measures and on-site management staff to address these issues effectively. Concerns over fan demands for extended fan service and the safety of both celebrities and attendees continue to be raised, prompting discussions on how to improve conditions during stars’ airport schedules.
As incidents like these garner attention, calls for increased safety protocols and better crowd management at airport appearances resonate in the entertainment industry and among concerned fans.
