In the future, Incheon International Airport has decided to use a separate door only for celebrities who have applied in advance when leaving the country.

Some say it is an inevitable measure to prevent safety accidents, but some point out that it is excessive preferential treatment for celebrities.

In July, when actor Byun Woo-suk was leaving the country, bodyguards controlled the airport gate as crowds gathered.

Incheon International Airport Corporation has come up with measures as the security guards' excessive security at the time has caused a great controversy and safety issues in the airport have also surfaced.

From the 28th, celebrities will be able to use a separate door when they leave the country.

[Lee Hak-jae / President of Incheon International Airport Corporation (last 24th): (In the last parliamentary audit), it was pointed out that people who can be crowded with multiple people, such as celebrities, can use the exclusive door because there may be congestion at the airport. [It was pointed out again why this was not implemented properly after experiencing the Byun Woo-seok incident]

However, it is not a new door for celebrities, but it is a method of using a separate passageway through which pilots and flight attendants pass together.

In addition, a celebrity who has been reported to have a bodyguard position in advance must apply to the construction in advance to use a separate door.

Airport passengers have mixed reactions to this.

Some say it is an inevitable measure to prevent safety accidents, but

[Kim Soo-bin / Songdo-dong, Incheon: I think it's okay because if there's a crowd, there can be a dangerous situation.]

It is also pointed out that it is an excessive preferential treatment that goes against equity.

[Kim Seung-tae / Songjeol-dong, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do: Celebrities aren't going out for public gain, but I think they're giving too much preferential treatment.]

The corporation reiterated that the move is aimed at securing the safety of ordinary users, not celebrities, but even has the task of considering the grave of the operation to prevent disputes over preferential treatment.
