Byeon Woo Seok's Security Team Under Fire for Flashlight Incident at Airport

 

The actor's security team has issued an apology after facing backlash for their excessive security measures at Incheon International Airport.

The incident occurred on July 12th as Byeon Woo Seok departed for his "2024 Asia Fan Meeting Tour – Summer Letter" in Hong Kong. Videos surfaced online showing security personnel flashing their lights at passengers in the airport lounge, even when they weren't approaching. This sparked outrage among passengers who felt their privacy was violated.

 

The security company's representative acknowledged the mistake, stating, "The use of the flashlight by our bodyguard was a mistake, and we deeply regret any discomfort it caused the public. We will take steps to prevent it from happening again by educating our bodyguards and implementing internal policies."

The company's leader also personally intervened to apologize and address the concerns of the affected passengers.

This incident highlights the delicate balance between protecting celebrities and respecting the privacy and comfort of the general public. It serves as a reminder that even well-intentioned security measures can have unintended consequences.

While Byeon Woo Seok is set to hold a fan meeting in Hong Kong today, July 14th, the controversy surrounding his security team's actions is likely to continue. It remains to be seen how the company will implement its promised changes to ensure similar incidents don't occur in the future.
