Is Han Jisung OK? Fans slam sasaengs for pushing Stray Kids star at airport, call them 'sick'

Stray Kids is mobbed at the airport while returning from Japan which leads to rapper Han falling and injuring his forearm

With some sasaengs (stalkers) and toxic fans doing their best to ruin the K-pop experience for other fans and idols, it can get frustrating to see. Weeks after Enhypen and The Boyz were mobbed at the airport with some fans having no care for personal space, it, unfortunately, happened once again with Stray Kids. On June 20, Stays (Stray Kids’ fandom) were at the Incheon airport to welcome back the K-pop group that had just finished the Japanese leg of their world tour ‘Maniac’. There was already a huge line waiting for Stray Kids, but it turned into chaos as the members were spotted accidentally pushing Han Jisung.

Videos have started circulating on Twitter as sasaengs rushed to where Stray Kids exited the airport and tried to take photos of them. Despite the staff and security guards present, the group was mobbed and bumped into each other. In the videos, fans could see that Jisung was accidentally pushed by the mob and fell to the ground. The rapper is then seen holding his arm and getting up painfully. International fans were furious as they slammed sasaengs for their extreme antics that led to a member getting hurt.

Han Jisung falls and injures hand at airport

Despite Han Jisung being in visible pain, the paparazzi and fans present kept taking videos and photos of him. The security guards are seen rushing to get the Stray Kids member out of the airport as he continues to hold his injured arm. Despite the incident, fans kept pushing into the security to take photos of Jisung and the rest of Stray Kids. As the group exits, the injured member is seen trying to cover his eyes with his hat while the cameras keep flashing on him. 

However, Jisung in true Jisung-fashion came online later and updated fans that he was okay and not to worry. Fans hope that he can rest as Stray Kids are then set to go on the US leg of their tour which kicks off on June 28 in Newark. The boy group just finished their Japanese concerts over the weekend in Tokyo as they sold out the Yoyogi National Stadium on both days.

‘What amazing fans’

Fans trended Han Jisung on Twitter as they sent him well wishes and slammed sasaengs, “The way they kept taking pictures and videos when han jisung fell really hurt my heart. I hope they realize that this doesn't look like something fans would do, this just too sick.” Another was shocked, “Han jisung fell, his arm get hurt i think cos he was holding it and the guard kept on asking if he's okay tf they never learned.” With NCT’s bodyguard going viral for effectively protecting Taeyong from a fan, one Stay joked, “I need that one bodyguard of nct to protect han jisung fr.”

Another was angry, “Han jisung has anxiety and what y'all do? go towards him pushing him and making him fall and the best thing is that even after he fell you could clearly see that he had hurt his elbow but y'all kept taking photos screaming like nothing happened, wow what amazing fans, really.” One Stay shared, “Han jisung going straight to bbl to tell us he didn't get hurt and dont worry.. he deserves the universe :(((.”
