“Why are idols not allowed to punch people in the gut when they do this sh*t?
Like everyone else, K-Pop idols have personal boundaries that should be respected at all times. Yet people sometimes treat them like animals in a petting zoo, giving no regard for their comfort or safety. Airports are notorious for this kind of behavior, with numerous examples of idols getting swarmed by people desperate to get close or take a picture.
📢 ATTENTION BRIIZES: Report to KWANGYA 119
Today (240129) RIIZE has been mobbed at the airport yet again. We decided to once again report this situation to SM Entertainment demanding for extra measures on RIIZE’s future airport security. We ask everyone to report this in… pic.twitter.com/mJCER5jPA6

This has happened to ENHYPEN alone a couple of times now, with an incident happening just last month that showed crowds of people swarming and crushing the idol group to the point where the members were getting pushed and nearly falling over.

Sadly, another dangerous situation has come to light not long after the above incident occurred. During another time when the ENHYPEN members were surrounded by a huge crowd of people, an older female “fan” took advantage of the situation and reached out to stroke maknae Ni-ki‘s arm, looking incredibly pleased with herself afterwards.
시발 WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!!!
NI-KI 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/4mMgR91oZ2

Not only is this disturbing behavior in itself, but considering that Ni-ki only recently turned 18 and debuted at just 14, people are finding this treatment of the group’s youngest member by an older person to be particularly unsettling.

The clip has gone viral on social media with over a million views at this time, and people are reacting with understandable outrage and disturbance.

this is *ssault. touching someone without their consent is *ssault, and to celebrate and be happy with yourself afterwards is concerning. you as a grown woman should know right from wrong. just because he is a celebrity does not give you the free will to touch him. disgusting. https://t.co/xtIpRfeVlu

I don’t and I won’t ever get this behaviour…. Have some respect, can’t you just form a line and wait there? While waving patiently? What’s the point in this…. I don’t understand. https://t.co/WtkvXMv9Bs

Not to do age shaming but a middle age woman touching a 18 years old boy’s arm in public like this??😭 and to think that most of these psychos have been doing this since his debut (he debuted at 14) https://t.co/J4N4tcP7CF

We hope that future measures are done to prevent this kind of situation from happening to ENHYPEN and other K-Pop idols.
