It was previously reported that BOYNEXTDOOR's security detail had acted excessively against fans at an airport recently. In response KOZ Entertainment released a statement apologizing for the issue stating, "We sincerely apologize to our fans for the issues arising from the inappropriate conduct of the security personnel who were responsible for ensuring BOYNEXTDOOR's safety at the airport on December 16."
Korean netizens reacted by sharing their thoughts on a Korean online community.
"Shouldn't they take legal action for assault rather than releasing an apology message?"
"How did you contact them? Compensate for the damage. The victim must go to the hospital and get a medical certificate."
"Haha, what a joke, just get sued."
"After pushing someone and it became an issue, only then did they release an apology message
The message doesn't work. They need to pay not only the treatment costs but also offer proper compensation."
"Right? It wasn’t just me that thought it was weird? Everyone ignored the fan and passed by, but unless she contacted them directly, how do they know who she was? Did she just send a DM in to the air?"
"Did you send a DM? But how do you know who it is?"
"Is this an apology?"
"Why do the comments here seem so gangster-like? No, it means they contacted her;;;
If the victim wants to file a complaint, they will file a complaint with the bodyguard."
"As expected, since it was on the news, an apology statement came out."
"Well, there are a lot of companies that don't even apologize and pretend to be obedient, so this much makes them look like angels haha."
Why dont they stop telling the fans where they are if they want to be so secure...They blast it all over and then expect nothing to happen. What a joke. That was excessive abuse by the body gaurd. And yes he should be held accountable for his actions.
