Rising K-Pop Group 'Riize' Overwhelmed by fans at the Airport

The arrival of SM Entertainment's newest boy group, Riize caused a major airport commotion as fervent fans swarmed the scene, leading to a state of disarray

Riize returned from an Osaka fan meeting on the 15th. Despite the late hour, numerous fans gathered at the airport, with some extreme enthusiasts breaking the order and causing frustration.

Security personnel did their utmost to control the mob and create a path for the Riize members, but they struggled against the overwhelming crowd. It was a chaotic scene, with even security guards being jostled by the fans.

Ultimately, the group had to make their way to their vehicles while still being surrounded by fans at the airport. Members Shota and Anton, in particular, stumbled due to the aggressive fans, almost leading to accidents.

Onlookers expressed criticism and concern, saying, "The security personnel are overwhelmed. Some people are truly out of their minds," "Members are being pushed aside. Not only them, but even they (the fans) should realize the danger," and "What's the fault of the general public?"

The continued disorder caused by these overzealous fans has prompted calls for legal regulations to be put in place to maintain public order at airports.

Riize made their debut last month and has garnered significant attention due to their handsome visuals, outstanding appearances, and impressive singing and dancing abilities.

Their debut album, "Get A Guitar," features a pop genre with a retro synthesizer and funky guitar rhythm. As of the 15th, the song achieved great popularity, ranking 16th on South Korea's largest music platform, Melon.

They should have a separate entrance and exit for idols that have barriers. Too many times we have seen idols get mobbed and potentially hurt.
