Hearts2Hearts is facing controversy over its bodyguard’s actions at the airport.
Netizens are divided after a fan-taken video surfaced showing the guard blocking a fan from boarding a tram with the group. Eyewitnesses say the guard appeared to press his forearm against the fan’s neck.
Fans claimed the bodyguard’s action was necessary. Some commented that the fan, who was carrying a camera bag, approached rapidly and seemed to ignore restrictions.
“But wasn’t it that the person ran up first in this case?”
Yet, many are criticizing the bodyguard’s response. They argue that no bodyguard should physically restrain anyone unless there is immediate danger to the artist.
The debate reignited discussions surrounding SM Entertainment‘s security practices, as similar concerns arose with other groups.
“SM just gets called out more often, but honestly, excessive behavior from celebrity bodyguards is the same across the board.”
In light of past incidents involving K-pop security, including Byeon Woo Seok, the issue shows no signs of resolution.
Fans are left questioning the balance between safety and overreach. What are your thoughts?
