This is just a question out of curiosity, but I will say I do not support or cordone any activities that saesangs do, just on my youtube I have been seeing more and more videos popping up of 'press' at the airports following members and showing their departure and leave. Such as MONSTA X for example and mostly Straykids is what I have seen on my feed. Personally it makes me kinda uneasy to see so many people at a location just for an artist, I just don't think its an okay thing to do unless you really do need to catch a flight and need to go through the airport.

I just don't click on those videos at all despite all the livestreams it suggests to me on my feed. But why do people do this? I assume its mostly just for views and since some are truly 'press' its okay and is allowed but it feels icky to me.

It kinda makes me worried since there's so many ppl at the airport and following the group/soloist/duo.
Like after han got hurt by the fans at the airport, I think they should stop going to the airport to meet them, unless I actually have I flight there

I think I saw a clip once was that the one where he had a panic attack and Seungmin hugged him/made sure he was okay? Even if it wasn't, its crazy how some of this stuff is just allowed to happen by the airport. You would think they would be stricter with those kinds of things

its not my favorite honestly. Some idols (like newly debuted idols) can get really stressed with all of the people. And saesangs are just so ugh!
its nice to know I'm not the only one who dislikes it. I see so many streams from the airports I started to wonder if it was just me

I think none of them are actual fans, just stalkers and those that are money hungry to the point of invading peoples privacy for the sake of a photo... it's truly annoying. cortis being nearly trampled while freshly debuted is proof
I totally agree, I didn't know that poor cortis, I always imagine it must be terrifying. Thinking you're just going to the airport like everyone else only to get treated like that. that's so annoying
