Shock & Terror! A Growing Trend?? first EXO then U-Kiss???

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

There seems to be a growing trend, where fangirls and fanboys (okay mostly fangirls) turn into rabid crazy bulldogs at airports when in the vicinity of their idols. First, we all know what happened with exo a few months ago at the airport ;_;

U-Kiss is currently on their second stop of their South American tour in Colombia and have finished their concert there.
But at the airport there was pushing, shoving, and falling :/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure dongho fell down. You can see all the members franticly holding on to each other and the staff/security.

This isn't something contained to a couple groups or airports and it seems like it's a growing trend. Companies don't take responsibility for the protection of their artists OR their staff, and allow this stuff to happen.

jesus kids just stay at home
where are their parents?!

I keep thinking is not the companies fault, the only way for them to have no trouble is to have the same amount of security guards around as the number of fans in the airport
In that video u can see there are bodyguards all around them but how the hell can u fight the shoving of so many crazy fans?
I blame fans

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

by having a roped of queue area? it safer for everyone

[uguukawaii.livejournal.com]

this shit is so messed up like i get where theyre coming from and if sera was that close to me i would flip out too but this is too much like make an overexcited tumblr post to get ur feelings out there dont nearly hurt the idol geez

ugh i HATE crowds so i always feel ill watching fancams of idols getting crowded :C

I HOPE companies gets a grip and take action before anyone gets seriously hurt! It's not like hiring security to get them safely in/out of airports would take tons of money as it's only for a short period of time...

I also HATE when people say "they couldn't help themselves" or "you'd do the same". I've been to the airport to greet my favourite group too but I gave them 5m of space and didn't get up in their faces even tho I could have 'cuz the amount of fans there was rly small.

Damn idols need to start using armored vans or tanks inside the airport just to be able to pass and board their flights.

I'm pretty sure what I was feeling while watching this was nausea because this level of pandemonium noone will ever deserve.

(Also wtf who was filming this? The footage is so high above the crowd and stable the whole time)

[caramelorchoco.livejournal.com]

they shoudnt have exited thru that entrance :/ their security shouldve directed them to a different exit considering how crazy the crowd was!

do what suju did in brazil and completely went for a secret exit to bypass the crowd (but still say a brief hello, if u want to)

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

Mte. SJ had their mobbing experiences back on the day so nowadays if the crowds are too much they user a

wth can't companies hire more body guards or something? i mean, ukiss probably can't afford to lol jk but bigger companies definitely can and need to start doing so. i get that airports might only be able to provide protection to a limited extent/you can never know how many fans will show up, but stuff like this should be considered and taken care of beforehand

fans stay crazy

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I can't even watch these videos without feeling claustrophobic... When i imagine how the artists must feel when being INSIDE the mob... /shudders

This is just disrespectful and batshit crazy, imo

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

omg WTF???

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

These crowds are so excessive. I remember when they were still mobbing Kris (EXO) even when he was traveling between China, Canada, and Korea by himself. The fans had to make an actual human chain because in a previous airport fans pretended to act like bodyguards so they could touch him inappropriately

[zui-circus.livejournal.com]

That´s my country, although i wasn´t there because i don´t care about U-kiss.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Jesus, someone could gt seriously hurt in a crowd like that, besides bruises and cuts people could pass out.
Honestly, they should send idols through other exits if the crowd size is too big for security to handle. You may have diassapointed fans but safety comes first

[sakura-seasons.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh.... And I just watched World War Z.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

That was... scary. Seemed to be a substantial amount of security, and it looks like they did the best they could but yes, perhaps there does need to be some makeshift wall/barrier to get the groups to their vans. Although something tells me fans would have no issue trampling over those, either.

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

its pretty simple though

when these are up it seems pretty safe for everyone

[muchie05.livejournal.com]

I can actually sympathize with the girl calling out for the other members, just imagine, the van is a few meters walk still and the security guys just seem to dissolved into groups and only Eli, Soohyun and AJ *following frantically* were able to go inside the van and Hoon, Kevin and Kiseop, and was Dongho there, i didn't even see him... #_#

Scary shit, just imagine all those long-nailed fans, just at arms reach to claw or scratch them, sorry SA fangirls but you all have to calm down, think of your safety and the safety of the people around you and most of all the safety of our fave boys...

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

lol all this ... for UKISS?

[aleash1989.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are immensely popular overseas.

[tryxkittie.livejournal.com]

also these girls and fans like them....detritus.

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

I barely lasted a minute into the video but I can't watch any more. It is SCARY! It's like a riot. That's not fan support, that's obsessive selfishness imo. I don't know exactly what the best way of dealing with this is but the worst thing is just to leave this kind of behaviour unchecked. It is awful and people are going to get very seriously hurt.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

Poor guys. I bet they were terrified. =\

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

These people aren't kids. Fans can whine all they want about "How you'd do the same" but people should continue to be critical of their dumbass behaviour. That person is a human being, not your fucking play toy. If you can't handle seeing your favourite then don't go to the airport. Simple.

The people who harrass idols at airports are the worst. And I mean those who grope them, go in to the toilet and take pics etc not the average person. Damn.

[foreverdevotion.livejournal.com]

Seriously. What the fuck did I just watch? That was beyond disgusting to watch. You could see the terror in the female manager's face when she's looking for the rest of the members.

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

ugh, that is horrible. Give them some fucking space.

[nightfrost75.livejournal.com]

Clapping for the noona who made sure the rest of the members got in the van.

I think part of it is not knowing what kinda of crowd is waiting in a foreign country?
If they were coming to Korea or Japan they'd know what they would have to deal with and plan accordingly. But in Singapore? Are there 200 fans outside or 2000? I think the only real solution is to use VIP entrances and planned, coordinated exits to waiting cars with a quick wave to fans.

this video seriously needs a trigger warning, I felt so uncomfortable as I was watching this last night jesus christ
