YG Entertainment releases official warning to fans after iKON was mobbed at Kansai airport

[VIPJACKAHGADAY]

iKON recently performed in Osaka, but encountered "one of the most extreme cases" of fan mobbing this year. As fans rushed in to get the members attention, security tried to control them but ended up struggling to ensure the members safety. The members were being pushed by the crowd. One video shows Bobby getting hit by a plushie, while another shows Jinhwan almost falling.

I hate all this comes during Hanbin's investigation. As if iKON doesn't have enough to worry about. Now their safety's on the line? They definitely don't deserve this.

Hmm yeah there’s something fishy about this situation — I wonder as to why these Japanese ikonics are ridiculously mobbing the boys like crazy!! Like crazy mobbing!!
