A video showing a flight attendant being injured by an overwhelming crowd of fans at an airport has sparked widespread anger online, reigniting long-standing debates about airport etiquette and K-pop fandom culture.
The incident occurred when a large mob gathered to see the rookie boy group CORTIS, whose rapid rise has already generated significant fan activity. The now-viral video has accumulated over 2 million views, drawing criticism from both fans and the general public.
In the clip, fans tightly pack the arrival area, pushing forward to catch a glimpse of the members. Amid the commotion, a flight attendant is seen falling to the ground, struggling to regain balance as people continue pushing from behind. A voice can be heard urgently yelling:
“Don’t push! People are getting hurt!”
The scene quickly triggered outrage across social platforms, with many condemning the unsafe behavior and lack of consideration for airport employees and regular travelers.
Netizens left sharp comments criticizing the crowd:
“I felt so bad seeing the flight attendant’s hands shaking. Usually, it’s not the people in the front row, but the people in the back that push, that makes it crowded. I don’t understand why though, because no matter how much you push, you aren’t going to make it to the front.”
“Despite the security guards pushing or not, just stay at home and don’t go to the airport.”
Many expressed frustration that despite repeated incidents over the years, airport mobbing continues to endanger staff, idols, and fans alike. Others urged agencies to provide stronger security measures and discourage unauthorized airport gatherings.
As discussions grow, the viral clip has further fueled calls for stricter airport crowd control and for K-pop fandoms to reconsider long-criticized behaviors that put innocent people at risk.
