Is WayV's TEN okay? Rapper trips and falls after getting mobbed at Gimpo airport, NCTizens call it 'harassment'

A K-pop fan wrote, 'This isn’t love. You NEVER treat someone you love with such disrespect. This is just straight up harassment'

"NCTizens" as NCT fans are called, expressed their growing concerns after a new video showed WayV members getting mobbed at the Gimpo airport. Along with Ten tripping and falling to the ground, the video shows Yangyang getting pushed on his way. And NCTizens were clearly not too happy about it. 

Is Ten okay?

For the unversed, WayV has been having their scheduled shoot outside Seoul and they were followed to the filming locations earlier by stalkers where SM Entertainment’s K-pop stars Lucas, Kun and Xiaojun called out sasaengs as the stalkers are called for breaching their privacy. Lucas took it to the social media platform, Dear. U Bubble to call out the sasaengs. The 21-year-rapper of NCT, SuperM and WayV wrote, “everyone, we are currently in the midst of filming but some of such people have come and the weather is also like this so why… this is so ridiculous, really. I’m so angry. But I’m sorry everyone, for suddenly being like this.” Read all about that here.

In the latest edition to this, WayV members were mobbed at Gimpo airport where fans apparently pushed Yangyang causing Ten to trip as well. A fan took it to Twitter to address this stating, “Please understand! they just finished work, they're tired. Why did you push YANGYANG? And because of you guys TEN fell on the floor. I know you love them. So can you stop bothering them?!”

More fans shared their concerns where K-pop stars are treated like this saying this can’t be called expressing love. A user posted, “This isn’t love. You NEVER treat someone you love with such disrespect. This is just straight up harassment.”  Another said, “I was shocked when I opened Twitter and trending Ten fell ... the oath that fell on him you stupid .... Ten you are my happiness ... you are very strong ... we love you ... get well soon our Ten!” Users also urged SM Entertainment to take their safety measures more seriously. A fan wrote, “Please #RespectTEN #SMprotectTEn If the event is more serious  If an accident occurred to the extent that the artist was injured  Who is the person who will be liable? Please answer.@SMTOWNGLOBAL”
