The latest idol 'airport controversy' is now unfolding, this time involving SM rookie girl group Hearts2Hearts.
Earlier today, the group made their departure from Gimpo Airport, but a dramatic scene interrupted their exit. As Hearts2Hearts was moving slowly throughout the airport, a massive crowd had formed around them, consisting of fans, reporters, and security staff. Suddenly, a man offscreen started screaming and cursing out the group, saying that they're causing a disturbance and putting nearby children in danger.
While using extensive profanity, the man shouted, "People are going to get hurt, you f**kers! B*stards! You're going to hurt the little kids here, f**k. We need to depart too, f**king b*stards!" Meanwhile, Hearts2Hearts attempted to remain calm and keep their composure while being recorded.
The clip quickly went viral, with netizens largely taking the side of the angry passenger and criticizing Hearts2Hearts for causing an airport disturbance.
"I understand why that person cursed at them, it's honestly refreshing to see"
"Celebrities need to stop using the airport as they please. Who do they think they are? It's ridiculous"
"They deserve to be cursed at, it's so annoying"
"No one's even heard of them, but suddenly they debut and think they've become royalty ㅋㅋ"
"Wear hats and masks, sneak in quietly and don't bother others. What kind of airport departure is this?"
"They seem so privileged"
"Seriously, what are they doing? They act like the airport belongs to them"
"The group should have apologized and told their fans to go somewhere else, instead of just standing there staring"
"No one has an obligation to make way for these people just because they're celebrities"
"I really hate it when companies tell fans to come to the airport for the group's schedules just for publicity. Just quietly leave the country.. They're not even famous idols like BLACKPINK, TWICE, or IVE. Who are they?"
"When I see things like this, I think it might be a good idea to give celebrities a separate entrance..."
The incident marked Hearts2Hearts' first airport appearance since their debut.
