Netizens Criticize Photographer Who Assaulted Female SM Entertainment Employee


Netizens of a popular online community in South Korea have been recently shocked by the way a male photographer behaved towards a female SM Entertainment employee.

The incident occurred at the Incheon International Airport on July 5th, when TaeYeon was going about to her overseas schedule.


In the video clip that was uploaded on Twitter, the male photographer literally grabs the female employee’s t-shirt so hard that it nearly falls completely off of her upper body.

While the exact reasons for this altercation has not yet been revealed, word has it that the reason why the photographer did what he did was because the female SM employee blocked his view of TaeYeon.

It’s been usually K-Pop entertainment agency staff members and bodyguards who were aggressive towards journalists in the past, but it seems that the roles have been reversed this time.

that male photographer is a good man, he's very nice and very kind with bts, yoona, gdragon, and with many kpop artists and idols too. and even with rookie kpop idols too he is nice and kind. he is very professional.

I would doubt taeyeon's manager, there were many times that SM's managers were criticized for being rude with the fans, the press and even photographers.

I thought her manager was a man, she looks like a man (No offense, ofc) I think many ppl also thought her manager was a man, right!.

.

Being a photographer of celebrities is a hard work. He has been working for years, that photographer is kind, professional and respectful. That day there were many artists and idols with their managers at the airport all showed to be kind and humble with the photographers and press in general, EXCEPT taeyeon's manager who believes that taeyeon is a "diva" while taeyeon behaved like a "diva" (nothing humble as always).

.

If there was an altercation between that photographer and her manager there must be a good reason, he would not react like that, probably her manager did or said something to him so offensive that he made him react in that way. I would not be surprised if taeyeon's manager is as narcissistic and egocentric as she is. REMEMBER that in SM there are some very aggressive managers either physically or verbally. Even the press titled: "sm managers and their harsh methods of dealing with fans". Many press and ppl criticized SM managers for being so rude with fans and even press/photographers.

.

I think that the artists or idols who have aggressive managers should know how intelligently control their managers's aggressiveness, just as Yoona did, REMEMBER when YoonA and her male manager 're in the parking in Airport, surrounded by many of her fans. She even waves and says hi to the fans at one point. However, it seems her male manager felt bothered by the crowd of fans that had gathered surrounding her and her car as he starts to yell out "Stop filming!" in a rude way. He starts to approach some fans, perhaps to get them to put their cameras away, but YoonA cutely stops him by tapping him on the shoulder while tell him not to do that (calming his aggressiveness). YoonA intelligently stopping her own manager from yelling at fans. that became a trend international. Yoona's intelligent leadership and kind attitude was praised by fans, the press and even i-ppl in general. Taeyeon should learn from Yoona's humility and intelligence how to control a rude manager to avoid this type of conflict/scandals.
