Recently, ENHYPEN traveled to Japan to appear in the finale of '&Audition – The Howling', a reality competition program that follows the formation and debut of the first boy group under HYBE Labels Japan. If normally ENHYPEN and other K-Pop artists would be greeted with fanfare at the airport , this apparently didn't happen when they arrived at the Japanese airport.
Upon arrival in Japan, ENHYPEN was greeted by fans who were very calm and organized. According to a tweet from a Japanese fan, they were told they had to stay seated when the members arrived at the airport. So they sat and waited according to the rules that had been instructed. Through a video circulating it can also be seen that fans in Japan have been sitting neatly even before ENHYPEN arrived.
When ENHYPEN got there, no one disobeyed the instructions and tried to approach the members. All fans at the airport respect the distance between themselves and the ENHYPEN separated by the barrier. From behind the barrier, they were seen calmly welcoming ENHYPEN's arrival which was then happily responded by the members with a wave of their hand.
In addition to making ENHYPEN members feel comfortable on their way out of the airport, fans who witnessed the scene via social media were also amazed at ENGENE's obedience in Japan. Unfortunately, it didn't last long for ENHYPEN. Although the initial journey from Korea to Japan was quiet, when they returned to Korea and arrived at Gimpo Airport, the commotion started again.
As soon as the seven ENHYPEN members arrived, security guards were seen holding back fans who tried to approach the group. However, many fans and media crew broke through and made the members pressed. As the members walked through the door, international fans noticed that the crowd of fans at Gimpo airport pushed Heeseung until he almost tripped. The same thing happened to Jake who almost fell because he was pushed by the large crowd that followed him.
Meanwhile, their manager protects Sunoo as the crowd becomes more intense and the road gets harder to pass. It didn't stop there, the ENHYPEN members were even being followed when they tried to get their transportation. Because of this unpleasant incident, fans even felt that the members' previously warm attitude seemed to have changed as they struggled to squeeze through the uncontrollable crowd.
Responding to the chaos, fans were furious and regretted the response to ENHYPEN which was 180 degrees different in Japan and Korea. "Stop the madness at this airport." "Korean ENGENE should learn from Japanese ENGENE." "Those fans make me angry." "The lack of security for ENHYPEN frustrates me."
This is not the first time that HYBE artists have gained attention for their contrasting experiences at the airport. Recently, V BTS's return from New York was also greeted by a large and chaotic crowd at Incheon Airport. Seeing the chaos and insecurity that idols continue to feel, fans feel that HYBE should have better rules and control systems to protect their artists.
In addition, international ENGENE also hope that not only Korean fans, but other international fans can also learn from Japanese fans who appreciate ENHYPEN's arrival at the airport. What do you think about the noise that ENHYPEN has returned to at the airport? Write your comments below, yes!
