Public reaction: “Just prohibit the airport fashion shows from the airport”
The Netizen replied hard:
“These fans who chase idols at the airport, attack cameras in the face … it’s madness. Staff, journalists, fans: everyone is out of control.”
“We are honest, idols that use departure rooms to advertise sponsored clothes is just a discomfort.”
“If you want a sponsored fashion, rent a space. Do not divert public airports.”
“I hope this is advertised and changed. They are just like, ‘Who do you think you are?’ I have some places to be!
The airport has long been considered a privileged position for exposure to the fashion brand, with agencies and sponsors that require a press coverage to show the products worn by the ambassadors. While most travelers dress randomly for flights, celebrities often plan the fashion of the complete airport for these apparitions.
This led fans to consider airports as ideal places to close their favorite stars up close. However, some even buy or sell personal information to keep track of timely times and behaviors how to block crowded paths or idols have led to dangerous accidents.
In fact, fans who obsessively follow stars at airports are often labeled like “Sasaengs”—A term for invasive and obsessive fans.
Last year, an actor was strongly criticized for excessive VIP -style airport safety. In another case, a fan suffered a brain emotion after being pushed by a bodyguard by a group of idol.
Still, nothing seems to have changed.
