ENHYPEN's "Traumatic" Experience At Incheon Airport Continues To Spark A Heated Debate About Safety

Netizens have raised anger after the “zombie apocalypse” that ENHYPEN witnessed when they arrived at Incheon Airport.

ENHYPEN recently stole the hearts of fans when they performed at the recent KPOP LUX festival in Madrid.

On July 24, ENHYPEN arrived back in Korea after their schedules, and it wasn’t surprising that Incheon Airport was full of fans waiting for the members to arrive. As soon as the group walked through the doors, the crowds went crazy.

Yet, like always, when the members got past a certain point, the fans were allowed to go away from the barricades and started following the members in very close proximity.

It got even worse as the members made their way to the exit and seemingly got split up from each other, with Jake having to hold onto Sunoo as they made their way out.

What was worse was the crowds were so large that a reporter even asked Jake if he was okay, especially after the idol was almost pushed into the door.

It's so sad when a reporter is asking a celebrity, in this case enhypen (Jake) if they're okay when trying to get out of the airport🙁 K engenes, please learn to stop crowding them😢 they had a long flight, the last thing they would uod want to experience is getting pushed pic.twitter.com/A5Pl7K2fu2

Compared to other times, ENHYPEN seemingly had further to go to get into their cars. The crowds looked like something from a zombie apocalypse as the members were surrounded and couldn’t even be seen.

When the videos were shared, netizens could help but share their anger at the experience the members had to have after a long flight.

it’s a whole mess and when sunoo got separated with the rest of the members and jay looked pissed. I hope they get plenty of rest after this :( pic.twitter.com/4tVMvbH49l

Kengenes, you literally live in the same country as enhypen, why must you all go to the airport and cause a stampede whenever they depart & arrive.. what, are you jealous that enhypen is leaving Korea for a few days??😭 They're gonna be back, stop crowding them at airports🥲😭

Yet, it isn’t the only time idols’ safety has become a concern. Only an hour or so before ENHYPEN’s arrival, BTS‘s Jungkook also had a similarly “scary” experience with crowds, and the idol almost fell twice because of the situation at Incheon Airport.
