On September 22, 2024, BTS' Jin returned to South Korea after making his debut at Milan Fashion Week as a Gucci ambassador. Upon his arrival at the airport, he was met by an overwhelming crowd of fans eager to catch a glimpse of the idol. Many gathered at the gates, following Jin to his vehicle, hoping to capture photos or simply see him in person.
While many fans appreciated the enthusiasm, concerns were raised about the chaotic atmosphere. Some pointed out that such large crowds could lead to dangerous situations, such as stampedes. Critics also noted the potential inconvenience caused to other passengers due to the overcrowding. A user on X, @OnlyRealPJ, wrote:
'Honestly if I want one thing from company is to not release their airport schedules in future, this is getting more crazy."
Several other fans expressed similar sentiments on the social media platform.
"This must be so overwhelming and overstimulating I can't imagine how this makes him feel," a fan wrote.
"this will not stop unless airports do something, and frankly I don't know why they don't. I'd be so panicked as a traveler if I had to deal with this because I had to be there the same time as a celebrity," an X user commented.
"The behind the scenes of those photos is this mobbing and harassment. Please stop sharing airport content ffs if you truly love your favs," a user remarked.
Others also stepped in to remind newer fans that true supporters should respect the artist's privacy and boundaries. They emphasized that such behavior doesn't reflect genuine fandom and encouraged a more considerate approach when welcoming idols.
"love the support and crowd he got but pls be safe for urselves n others Armys," a fan mentioned.
"To all our new and baby ARMY: THIS IS NEVER OKAY. WE DO NOT TOLERATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR. THIS IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT AIRPORT PICS, DO NOT GO THERE," a user remarked.
