The criticism was not solely directed towards the fans, but also towards SM Entertainment, the management company of RIIZE, for their failure to implement sufficient safety measures for the protection of both the idols and their supporters.

Despite the repeated occurrences, this is not the initial incident of concerning conduct from RIIZE supporters. Back in October, fans caused chaos by disregarding the queue and directly approaching the idols, leading to a hazardous environment. These ongoing events highlight a growing unease regarding the safety of both idols and fans during public events.

The recent incident at the airport has sparked a renewed demand for stricter regulations and improved management strategies from entertainment companies. Both fans and industry experts are urging companies such as SM Entertainment to actively implement measures to guarantee the safety and welfare of all individuals involved.

In a recent event at Gimpo International Airport, RIIZE was once again met with a chaotic mob of fans, causing outrage among their loyal supporters, the BRIIZEs, and raising worries about safety. Online videos showed a tumultuous scene as fans crowded around the group, leading to immediate intervention by security.

Despite the efforts of RIIZE’s security team, Sungchan, Shotaro, and Sohee were visibly impacted and some even became separated from the group during the commotion. This incident, which mirrored a previous mobbing at the same airport in October 2023, sparked renewed conversations about fan conduct and the effectiveness of SM Entertainment’s security protocols.

Supporters voiced their dissatisfaction with the frequent interruptions to RIIZE’s travel plans and urged for enhanced measures to safeguard their security and welfare.
