f(x) Krystal in shock after being assaulted at airport

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

A photo is quickly going viral showing f(x) member Krystal being grabbed from behind by what appears to be a fan without warning.

In the photo, Krystal clearly looks shocked and displeased at the inappropriate physical act, as she has no idea who is approaching her or grabbing her. She looks to attempt to free herself from the fans grasp, but has trouble due to being held on so tight.

f(x) stylist quickly realizes what is happening and also looks extremely confused and shocked, leaning towards to the perpetrator in what appears to be an attempt to stop her.

Stay tuned for more on this developing story.

is it me or looks like the "fan" is smelling her hair??? wtf
so creepy, poor Krystal

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

SM artists have the WORST fans omg. I would have kicked the fan but then people would have turned against Krystal probably. This is terrible for anyone but especially for someone as shy and guarded as Krystal.

[initialc.livejournal.com]

I've seen cray fans from all companies tbqh.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

What the actual fuck?
This is wrong at so many level

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

I get so annoyed that SM will sue a person over rumors but won't even protect their idols in public.

Managers =/= bodyguards. Invest in some actual security you cheapskates.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

idols need fucking airport security or bodyguards.

smh.

[theemii.livejournal.com]

How can someone think it okay to just hug someone and smell their hair, hopefully SM will get better security....

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

what the hell?? this is wrong at so many levels!

but I'm pretty sure if she pulled away and complained netzines would say she was being rude to her fans

[daftpunkremix.livejournal.com]

krystal loathes being an idol and this incident will probably be the last straw for her. i see her leaving by next year, which is sad because f(x) definitely won't be the same, but i really don't blame her

[lydiasummer.livejournal.com]

and netizens are going to blame jessica for her "bad" influence lol

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Ugh the worst part is when someone assaults you like that, you kind of freeze up (in my experience).Plus she can't even hit back or 'rude to fans'
Invest in some fucking security for your idols SM.
Also OP I have the same issue, I nearly posted to the bangtan comm yesterday instead of here.

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

yes exactly, if she responds to the fan assaulting her then she will be labeled rude

[prlsb4swiine.livejournal.com]

wtf this is terrible. sm can't even find a few bucks for bodyguards in their massive paychecks?

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Damn that fan needs to sort her life out

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

What's it going to take for SM to get some gd bodyguards/security so their idols don't get harassed in airports? EXO kids were already injured once, not to mention being grabbed/fondled. This is NOT okay and it's their (SM) job to protect their idols while they're travelling for work ffs.

Poor Krystal :( That's disgusting. I hate when ppl think they have the right to touch you without your permission. Is this delulu fan trying to give her a back hug? Just NO.

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

that fan has no chill. stalker even?

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

The worst are the fans who are like, "If it was a guy I'd say he needs to go to jail but since it's a girl...it's okay"

I had to resist the urge to ask what was wrong with them and just said it's not right for a stranger to touch anyone whether a guy or girl

[heyitsrocky91.livejournal.com]

eww wtf? nobody wants a random stranger groping them, male or female -_-

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

It sucks because there's nothing they can do. If she were to push the fan, the netizens would go nuts. But if she just allows it to happen, it might invite more fans to do it. It's such bullshit.

[mintychocolat.livejournal.com]

omg That's so terrifying. To have someone you don't know suddenly latch onto you like that. Poor girl. D:

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

wtf!

I know that every company has crazy fans, but sm is magnetic to the insane ones and they never seem to give proper protection to their acts.

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

Gross, inappropriate behavior from the fan. SM security remains neigh nonexistent. However, some news sites and fans are calling this a sexual assault and I'm...not happy about that, either. Bad behavior from the fan, no respect for boundaries, yes. But let's not weaken the term.

That said, the scariest thing here is knowing this fan easily could have been someone who WOULD have sexually assaulted her, or could have been someone with a knife, or anything. If SM weren't equipped to prevent this, will they be equipped to prevent any of those things?

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I think SM has always assumed that if anyone needed bodyguards, it would just be their boy groups. And they're not even willing to "splurge" for their protection, much less everybody's.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

what a gross fan ugh poor bbjung ;;

[rabu-parade.livejournal.com]

This reminds me of what happened to Kendall Jenner recently.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

WTF IS WRONG W/ SOME PPL

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

A swift jab to the side of her head would have fixed that problem. SM, its really not that hard to get bodyguards for these people. It really isn't. With the money that you guys get you can at least pay for three.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

what's even more worrying about this is that the more these things happen and are publicized, the more people will be encouraged to do things like this and worse. scary. how can sm be allowed to treat their artists like this? especially when these people are so young- half of them are practically children when they debut.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

jfc this girl cant catch a break. im blaming sm for this idc they encourage this bs by not having 10ft bodyguards.

on the off chance this happens to any of yall (a guy that was following me for weeks grabbed me like this -__-):
-use your heel to stomp on the middle of their foot. put all your weight into it.
-buck your head back and smash their nose in
-if your arms are above their grasp, swing your elbows/depending on height aim for the neck!
