BTS 2018 Update: Jimin Tripped, J-Hope Hurt, What Happened At The Airport? [VIDEO]
It looks like fans can't help themselves every time they see the favorite South Korean boy band, BTS, in a public area. In fact, the group once again got mobbed at Gimpo International Airport on Wednesday, April 25.
According to Teen Vogue, BTS was welcomed by a group of people when they arrived at Gimpo International Airport. However, things got pretty intense when fans started to go out of control as they tried to have a picture with the "Mic Drop" hitmakers.
In a clip shared by a fan on Twitter, it can be seen BTS was trying to make their way out off the crowd to get outside of the airport. There were camera phones here and there, while they were being squeezed by a flock of fans who kept on closely following them.
"I don't understand how these people that mobbed BTS think," the video's caption read. In another clip, Jimin tripped as he was trying to escape the big crowd. He, too, was getting pushed with the flood of people. Also, it looked like someone hurt J-Hope's wrist as he was shaking off his hand up in the air.
"Y'all airports are not fan meetings. Respect BTS' personal space and let them breathe," the fan said. Hence, the ARMY came to the group's rescue - asking everyone to give V, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Jimin, and J-Hope some respect.

In fact, one fan said the group has been respecting their fans, so they should do the same and never make them feel uncomfortable. Another BTS follower said fans should respect their "privacy and dignity," give them space and let them breathe. Although they are public figures, one fan reminded everyone "they are humans, too."
This was not the first time BTS got mobbed at the airport. To recall, in 2017, the ARMY also got out of control when they saw V at the same airport in Seoul. He was returning from a short vacation in Jeju Island, Digital Music News reported.

In a video, V was running to escape a group of fans who were continuously taking his photos. There was even an instance where a woman can be heard shouting. This made the BTS member and his bodyguard afraid, thus they had no choice but to run to get to their car.
With that, fans question BTS' safety and security. So, its agency, BigHit Entertainment, promised to take extra safety measures to keep them safe.
