Sadly, it seems like the members didn’t get to spend as much time in London and on November 23, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé returned to Korea. While their photos from Incheon Airport showcased their visuals…

At one point, Jisoo got separated from the other two members and fans were being pushed, all while security tried to keep the members safe. Even members of the public were being caught in the stampede.

Yet, when the video was posted, while the members had got back “safely,” netizens believed that the video showed the complete opposite. When it was posted, BLINKs shared their anger at the complete disrespect for the members and their safety.

As always, the topic of airport security seems to continue to be an issue with idols’ safety being compromised.
