This comes in light of recent mobbing at airports.
According to a document uploaded to Xoriginally sent from Incheon International Airport to various entertainment companies, the airport will now open a private entrance for celebrities. Businesses must request use of the entrance in advance.
While stars have occasionally taken VIP exits, it appears the airport is now applying this to their entry too. Traditionally, artists accept public entry not only for lack of infrastructure but also for press opportunities.
Subject: Request to follow procedures when artists use the exclusive entrance of Incheon International Airport when leaving the country.
1. Although we hope for the endless development of your company, this is related to creating an environment for safe use of the airport.
2. Recently, as the popularity of local artists has grown internationally, fan attendance and crowding at the airport has increased, and as a result of the growing crowd size, this has affected not only comfort of regular passengers, but also safety.
3. Therefore, to reduce the crowds at the airport, we have created a new exclusive entrance for departing celebrities and famous people. This will be put in place from 28 October 2024 onwards and we will provide you with plans to do so. Please take note of how to use exclusive entry and other important information. If you wish to use exclusive entry, please submit a request at the airport in advance.
4. Furthermore, as we are trying to provide a safe and pleasant environment for our citizens and passengers, in order to reduce crowds of various members of the public, we hope that your company can release an announcement to your artists’ fandom regarding refraining from go to the airport when artists leave and enter the country. We hope you can cooperate by posting this article on the official fan café, social media, Weverse or other companies
