So, Kim Taehyung (V) finally steps out for his first airport appearance in two years, and what happens? Absolute chaos, because apparently, people still don’t know how to act when BTS steps outside.
As soon as V arrived at Incheon Airport, the crowd lost its mind. We’re talking fans, reporters, “fans,” and people who just wanted a clip for clout, all swarming him like he wasn’t a human being trying to walk through a public space. Videos show people screaming, pushing, shoving, and getting dangerously close, with zero sense of personal space or basic respect.
And V? He handled it with the calm, composed, slightly annoyed but still polite demeanor that only Taehyung can master, nodding and waving before quickly heading to the departure gate while clearly trying to stay safe. At one point, a reporter even shouted, “It’s dangerous!” because the crowd got that out of control.
The kicker? This wasn’t a fan meeting. This wasn’t a schedule where interaction was expected. This was V trying to catch a flight, and people turned it into a circus for their shaky phone clips.
Fans were outraged, rightfully calling out the lack of crowd control and the irresponsibility of those who prioritized getting a blurry photo over V’s safety and comfort. ARMYs took to social media demanding better protection for BTS, reminding everyone that these are human beings, not zoo exhibits, and that no photo is worth endangering someone’s well-being.
It’s not the first time BTS has dealt with this, and sadly, it probably won’t be the last. But it’s a reminder that while ARMYs know how to respect boundaries, others chasing clout do not, and it puts the artists we love at risk.
And Taehyung? He didn’t cause a scene. He didn’t snap or yell. He simply walked through it, eyes forward, handling the chaos with quiet dignity while giving us a reminder of why BTS remains the standard—not just for music, but for grace under pressure.
To the people who think mobbing idols at airports is a flex: it’s not. It’s embarrassing, dangerous, and disrespectful. To the companies managing these idols: it’s time to step up security so that the artists can travel safely. And to ARMY: keep being the example of what respectful, loving support looks like, because BTS deserves it.
Taehyung showed up looking like a king, handled chaos like a king, and reminded us all, yet again, that while the world may lose its mind around BTS, they will never lose themselves.
