SM Entertainment revealed that there was no police involvement with an incident involving EXO's bodyguards at a Chinese airport.


Earlier this weekend, rumors started floating around that a bodyguard was arrested by the police after handling EXO fans violently as EXO went through a Chinese airport. A Chinese media outlet had also reported that police were dispatched because of a scuffle between airport staff and bodyguards at the airport. The report read, "On the 16th at China's Nanjing airport, when EXO's bodyguards refused to have customs check, the Nanjing airport staff started to shout. The loud argument escalated to a violent fight. Because of the fight, the entire airport became chaotic, and even the police were dispatched."

However, SM Entertainment told Newsen, "The report on EXO and a scuffle at the Chinese airport is false. There was a bit of conflict between the on-site airport employees and the bodyguards, not the EXO managers, because of safety problems while EXO members were going out of an airpot where a lot of fans had gathered. However, everything was solved without problems at the airport."
