However, some fans who attempted to flock Jaemin had NCT's security on high alert.
Despite the ensuing commotion, the group's security did their best to prevent further disorder from happening, while ensuring safety at the airport. When things subsided, a fan appeared to have grabbed Jaemin's shoulder bag, causing the idol to adjust his accessory.
This is so crazy!

These ppl have crossed the line and this rude action is too dangerous. Jaemin had to raise his arms high to hold his bag, it could have hurt him bcs of the heavy bag and their pulling force.

airports should start banning fans and reporters cuz shit like this always happens, jaemin has also previously talked about fans mobbing them at the airport but they just don’t care to listen or respect him https://t.co/UtjKTE06ng

airport culture has gotten worse than it ever has been over the last few years y’all need to realize idols are people too and shouldn’t have to be hounded like this or feel like they need to go into fight or flight mode when arriving or leaving the airport… sm needs to do better https://t.co/fYvRWvReXE

this practice is a safety risk that should’ve been banned globally ages ago. creating such a dangerous environment in an airport of all places under the guise of ‘greeting’ someone is just idiotic https://t.co/vJlTK5dAQI

yk what's crazier? this happens DAILY, its frequent and puts both the idol's life at risk and that of ordinary people who are passing by, and no legal entity in korea takes the initiative to penalize this 😵💫 https://t.co/gCtLozSpbv

Please don’t do this🙏
Don’t hurt JM like this, we can film and take shots from the distance or a few meters away.
But this has crossed the line😔 https://t.co/0QC8D9zBNc— JJ LOVE BAR🐰/🐱💝🐶 (@JJ_ThisIsReal) October 5, 2023
No matter how tight the security is if fans won't act normal this sht won't stop. I think Korean airports should ban fans overall because this keeps on happening to every group in SK and it gets worst if ur famous. Also, the media should stop posting about flight infos too https://t.co/qf4EpA1Rmk

The Gimpo airport incident caused NCTzens to recall a previous message from Jaemin, who scolded unruly fans via Bubble app in 2022.
jaemin has told us to keep order at the airport before yet you people can’t even respect that. your selfishness of invading his personal space could result in him & those around you getting harmed. these things just get worse & pulling his bag is too damn far. learn to respect.

After finishing one of their stops for "The Dream Show 2: In A Dream" in 2022, the group was severely mobbed by people at the airport.

This 2022 incident led to Jaemin's message:
"Please let's keep order at the airport. Why does it keep getting worse? (If this message doesn't apply to you, you can get a move on!)"
